Patton’s rescue of the 101st at Bastogne.
Joe Toye would disagree....
“How do I feel about being rescued by Patton? Well I’d feel pretty peachy, except for one thing. We didn’t need to be ___in’ rescued by Patton! Got that?”
It had a chuckle when John was talking about Monty, he praised his skill as a general “particularly for set-piece battles”. Market Garden was way out of his comfort zone, and gives the lie to M’s claim that if everyone had listened to him, blah blah blah. We did, and it was a failure.
