Odd That British General Bernard L Montgomery Is Not Really In The Film
Odd That British General Bernard L Montgomery Is Not Really In The Film.
They show some real archival footage of him and D-Day planning but for the most part he is a no show.
It would have been cool to see American General Patton's reactions to all that failed with Market Garden since he had an alternate plan to capture the bridge into Germany.
I wonder if Patton could have pulled it off?
One of my favorite quotes of Patton's is "Lead, follow or get out of the way."
