LOL - my dad loved Patton, didn’t like Montgomery or anything else British. I think he was drawn in by the competition between the US and Britain that developed throughout the European campaign. A competition that was healthy, I might add.
It wasn’t just about beating the Germans - it was about beating the Germans before the English beat the Germans!
Interestingly, despite liking Montgomery, Daddy did not like the English. He did like the Scots but he liked the French more than any.
He thought the French were more like Americans. He attended the Follies Bergere (sp)? and said one of the comedians acted just like his Brother.
