Well hardly any of them were used in the book "Patton's Photographs", this book sets out to show "the war as seen by Patton" yet he manages to appear in the vast majority of the images! The photos which he did take are mainly snapshots of dead folks at the sides of the road, he even manages to get his finger in front of the lens in one frame!
The introduction to the book describes the photos as having been taken "with a simple camera", hmmmm.
