LOL Handwritten at the end of Montgomery’s letter to Ike:
“Do not bother to answer this.”
Hilarious.
I’m sure Eisenhower the human being would have answered quite differently that did Eisenhower the SHAEF commanding general, who still needed Montgomery’s assistance. But I’d bet they weren’t such good “friends” after the war.
Notice also he apparently sent a copy to Bradley, and also notice the XX next to Monty’s comment about failure.
“Do not bother to answer this.”
You’d have to think Ike’s first thought was “Then why bother sending it?”
That last line basically says “I’m just doing this because I’m a dick.”
