Let’s also not forget that Monty was a complete ass and without massive American support wouldn’t have won his Africa campaign.
Don’t forget his great success at Market-Garden.
...and Monty was the delightful soul behind the frolick known as Operation Market Garden that killed far too many allied troops, instead of giving Patton what he needed. Funny how things never change. In the vein of political correctness they deferred to Monty, had they supported Patton instead, the war would gave been over much sooner, and we never would have had the cold war nighmare of a divided Germany.
