Veeky Forums, I need you to answer a very important question. Patton or Montgomery?

>fails in his plan to parachute troops even when everyone is telling him to stop because it will not work
>blame poles

I miss when shitposters at least pretended to be intelligent.

Neither.

Woh woh not so fast. Monty a nice man? He ruined a man's life because he was right about Market-Garden being a bad idea.

What a nice fucking guy, the cunt.

Monty was told several times by airmen who scouted the area that a large concentration of German troops were being gathered in the planned drop zones. Weeks of pilot reports and intelligence findings conclude that there was a major buildup in the area. Monty literally ignored all this evidence and said to go ahead with the operation.

It wasn't a calculated risk with unforeseen events causing it to fail. It was his own fault for trying to grab glory before the rest of the Allies could cross the Rhine in any real way and roll on to glory without him.

He knew EXACTLY what was waiting on the other side of the Channel and went for it anyway, despite numerous reports and evidence that he was about to drop his fighting men into a literal manpower pool for a German armored division/.

Patton. He was a capable commander who led the soldiers under his command to victory time and time again.

Monty, well...

This kinda puts him into proper perspective.

>threatens to quit because he was butthurt about a Bong leading an American division until Ike tells him to stop being a faggot

this is like asking, who is the best JV quarterback on the high-school football team.

the real generals were either Soviets or Germans on the eastern front.

This.

Although the American-Brit breakthrough was intentionally slow and low-risk, because they could afford it.

Apart from D-day landings, which where fucking magic, they weren't really tested.

Operation Market Garden... nuff' said.

Patton's army diverted to Bastogne by excellent maneuver on the fly, while Montgomery with a stick up his ass as usual, unable to get off the dime and trap a kraut army that's like ripe fruit on the vine, same as Falaise. No real contest here as far as generalship.
