Yeah, only 'cos Rommel had no gasoline and 'cos Monty had three times more tanks at El Alamein.

Market Garden was a very different fight. Poor supply lines, poor tanks, little heavy weaponry (this is why para suck) who were fighting dug in Germans with heavy tanks and artillery. I don't think you could've done much better, especially since the support, in the form of Shermans and infantry, was taking ages to get to the AO as the terrain was poor and had lots of ambush points.

Market Garden *almost* succeeded you know. Only failed thanks to the amount of time it took for reinforcements to come up and the training exercises that were taking place.

I wouldn't have outright tried it. Patton was desperate to cross into Germany, and they didn't let him. Gave priority to Monty instead.

Alright, look, let us agree to disagree. This has nothing to do with Rommel in the desert anyways.

I'm a fan of Monty, @Pablo22510, but that is a clever meme. I suppose the Fox might say "cyanide."

Maaaaan, Monty was the most overrated general of the war. Look, I admire what you Brits did during the war, and I think Churchill is the best politician EVER, but Monty was the British attempt to find a war hero equal to Patton, Rommel and Zhukov. Obviously, Monty wasn't the right choice. I love Field Marshal Sir MIles Dempsey, though. Imho, the best Brit general of the war was Dempsey.

I dunno @Pablo22510, Monty was a superb commander at El Alamein, both on the defensive and offensive.

Well, maybe, but he seriously foiled up in Holland.

A serious case of a series of unfortunate events.

Not really unfortunate. The planning was shit. The gasoline should have gone to Patton, who was ready and willing to cross the Rhine directly from France into Germany.

No one but Patton thought that Patton would manage to cross the Rhine, what else were they to do? Capturing Arnhem would've been very beneficial on top of that.

Everyone thought that Patton would cross the Rhine, his campaign in France had shown his ability to overrun anything. However, because the Brits (and I think that without them the war would have been lost) had been doing pretty much nothing in Europe, except helping the Amis at Normandy at holding the Italian front, Eisenhower felt he should hand over some of Patton's protagonism to Monty.
