I think “Market Garden” was not a bad idea, it was just unlucky and also flawed in it’s execution.

I think Patton basically had the same idea but was not allowed to carry it out.

Patton was a much better general than Montgomery in offensive operations.

The Dutch suffered during the winter of 1944 - 45.

The King of the Netherlands did not think Monty's flawed plan was a good idea. His statements were not kind toward Monty.
