That boob Monty would have nixed the Rhine bridgehead, if he could have.

I read the Rick Atkinson Liberation Trilogy a few months back and, man, Monty was a colossal jackass. It gave me a huge appreciation for Eisenhower's skills in just holding the alliance together.

Atkison wasn't very complementary on Bradley, Simpson, Patch or most of the other U.S. commanders. We seem to have won the war almost in spite of them and not because of them.
