The correct answer is:

Patton helped force the surrender of German forces in North America.

Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor (1941), George Patton was assigned to command the 1st and 2nd Armored Divisions and organized a training station in the California desert. With his impressive aggressiveness and unrelenting discipline, Patton succeeded in putting the U.S. forces back on the offensive after several defeats. He obtained the war’s first major American victory against the Germans in the Battle of El Guettar (1943).
