The Brits had some of the worst Generals in the war. Montgomery was too cautious and political.
That’s interesting...What were our strengths militarily you think?
Russians always tell me that Americans take too much credit for ourselves even though we didn’t lose as many lives...and i’m like...isn’t that the point?
I certainly would NOT have been wanting to fighting under Stalin! He had no care for the lives of his countrymen whatsoever.

Montgomery was by far the best British general. His plan for the landings at D-day was quite good. But overall he was awful once a battle was engaged. His failure during operation Goodwood was inexcusable. A massive attack of allied heavy bombers made concentrated bombing runs at 4,000 feet blowing apart the German front lines. Heavy tiger tanks were literally flipped over and buried under tons of dirt from the attack. The lines simply ceased to exist, and Monty’s attack failed because he didn’t send infantry with the tanks and German AA guns ripped the tank attack apart turning what should have been the biggest allied victory in the war into a defeat.
