Interesting thoughts and analysis.
I think if Monty had had his way in this war, there’s a good chance you and I and the rest of us wouldn’t be here communicating so enjoyably with one another in a relatively free environment.
Another point about Monty, I think, is there seems to be some kind of inherent failure in British command that goes back as far and probably beyond, the 1854 Charge of the Light Brigade, an unnecessary sacrifice of brave soldiers because the British commander wouldn’t listen to reason and had his head up his a##, similar to what I see here with Monty. Probably goes all the way back prior to King George. An arrogance, an aloofness, a stiffness, that binds and blinds a proud heart from seeing clearly. Something like that.
If Germany won WWII then the cold war would have been between the Third Reich in Europe and the USA instead of USA vs USSR. Not much different really.
Don’t forget the quote about the British Army in World War 1:
“Lions led by donkeys.”
