Somewhere during the Bulge, doesn’t Monty start nagging Ike again about becoming the overall commander on the Western Front?
Correct, Monty overplayed his hand badly and came within an eyelash of being cashiered. Monty's loyal chief of Staff Maj Gen "Freddie" de Guingand saved his bacon after Monty intemperate remarks in a press conference in early January of 45.
More later, I hope :-) Regards
