Can’t remember when Patton and Montgomery actually “worked together.” Please enlighten me. Each had his own objectives militarily, but Montgomery never made his “on time and under cost.”

Well, they both reported to Eisenhower, although even that didn’t go smoothly ...

Montgomery didn’t capture Caen by D-Day, as promised ...

Montgomery essentially left the Americans on their own during the Battle of the Bulge ...

and Montgomnery’s “Market Garden” was a disaster ...
