He was the exact inverse of Monty. Patton was the master of dynamic warfare, but had a really poor record on set piece battles.

Montgomery was really good on set piece battles, but couldn’t manage a dynamic situation.

It would have been interesting, for example, to see what Patton could have done with Market Garden when the intelligence proved faulty.
