If what someone posted above was true, that it was a 2 lane road on some kind of berm through marshlands that would never hold up a tank, you would think this information might have changed these plans drastically.

If Monty did not know, then someone else should have been facing court-martial for the coming fiasco.

Or maybe he was told but was “married to it” by then, had become his baby so to say.

That makes sense. After all they were fighting a war. :-))

Yes it does make sense, but that 2.4 million pounds of beef might have gotten an exemption if someone could have asked

Bottom line, as colorado tanker stated, Monty let his personal vanity control his military judgement. And Tommy and GI Joe paid for it.

Reading the book about the Arnhem battle was gut-wrenching for me. Such fine troops and incredible heroism wasted for naught.

I was looking up the Red Ball Express on wiki, clicked on the film a about it, clicked on the TV series “Roll Out”, clicked on the show that came after it “Dirty Sally” and then on the show that came after that “Planet of the Apes” (I did not know McDowell did such a series)

All of these shows only did 13 episodes (Apes did 14 but one did not air apparently)

There were a lot of short-run programs back then I guess.

Wow, I thought I knew about every pre-cable sitcom, but don’t remember this one. If I was watching, it probably was The Odd Couple.
