Yeahh well, we might inform DD that the alaies drove towards Arnhem New
York style... :-))

Sadly, Monty wasn't the only General who sacrificed troops to satisfy
his ego. In the past he had been rather careful and conservative. I have
often wondered whether he had bad intelligence, or ignored the reports.

There is clear evidence that he was told all about it at least two
weeks before the landing. I can look up the references (real books -
made of paper) if you like.


So you are saying that he ignored the reports, or were the reports
inaccurate?
