American generals were blown to pieces by their own planes during World War II? Why was he killed by one of his own?

On the battlefield, birth and death are all moments. No one can say whether he will be targeted by death, but among these strange ways of death, one is undoubtedly the most humbled and depressed, and that is being killed by one of our own.

This is no joke. In the battlefield of World War II, many senior generals really died at the gunpoint of their families.

The American bombers made great contributions to the Cobra operation, but it is a pity that the bombers with excellent performance also bear the reputation of "fuses iconic killers", because this battle also sent many American officers and men to their graves, including Lesley·James·McNair, the highest military general killed by the American army in World War II.

But this guy is different from Lieutenant General buckner who was killed by Japanese artillery fire in Okinawa. As an honorable American Samsung general, he died at the hands of his family. He is dead! But ironically, he didn't come to command the battle at first. To be precise, he came to "cheer and watch the battle".

Poor mcnair, finally can only identify the fuses iconic fragments on the military uniform, so a generation of famous soldiers died in an accident. More helplessly, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Eisenhower chose to block the news, until after the battle, mcnair was killed.

In order to commemorate mcnair's meritorious service, in 1954, the US military command posthumously awarded him the rank of four-star general, and Barton, Bradley and others personally carried the coffin, which was a comfort to the unfortunate general. He was really the most depressed general who died, but he was blown to pieces by his own plane.
