Can be an interesting point... but I suppose that the Patton Museum has been setup years after than Germany ceased to be an enemy for US.
BTW, there really was an US made camera someway comparable to Leica... the Kodak Ektra... but it was introduced in 1941... probably Patton was already on duty and hadn't time to shopping for one
