Francis "Jeep" Sanza was drafted into the U.S. Army in the spring of 1941. Due to his mechanical prowess the army put him into the 3457th Ordnance Medium Auto Maintenance Company, where he began driving the tough new Willys MB 1/4-ton reconnaissance vehicles, later to be simply called the "Jeep".

Sanza was eventually chosen to be the personal driver and mechanic for General George S. Patton, one of the most important and revered generals of the Second World War.

Sanza's unique position gave him a window into the mind of one of the greatest strategists in modern military history, as he drove Patton across France and into Germany.

Francis "Jeep" Sanza passed away peacefully on January 30, 2018
