IMHO, Market-Garden, if run by Patton, would have had a lot better chance of succeeding. Montgomery was not the man to run this kind of operation.I'm not sure he would have participated. In any case, I believe he was already on a roll and MG took away assets.

OH Yeah, Patton was PO'd. He pretty much had to halt while most of the assets went into Market-Garden. I was thinking more of Patton taking part as the relieving ground force, he would have pushed a lot more aggressively.
