I was never all that enamored with Monty to be honest.

I always through looking at his war history that he was way to finicky, risk adverse cautious and too much of a career opportunist.

Not saying that he didn't have a lot of success, he had a very good war, He just wasn't that much of a hard charger.

I think if he would have faced a properly supplied Rommel in the desert that we would have a very different history and great Britain would have been struck an enormous blow.

Fuel is life, and Rommel lost his ability to properly fight and maneuver because of a 70% shortfall of supplies.
