Monty was brilliant and beat Rommel out of Africa and then Europe

[@christaselig6735]

I absolutely love, respect, and admire General Montgomery. Except that I am disappointed that he referenced "luck" rather than the Almighty God, and I thought that he knew better.

[@stuglenn1112]

Montgomery was a bigger hindrance to the allied war effort than the Germans.

[@tonywright4650]

Can't of been that bad beating possible the best war general in history.. In a domain so very different from his own

[@donnieheanan8810]

I agree. Put the shirts right up em nazis with his absolute confidence and fighting spirit. No mercy to the maddasses of Earth.

[@alangilbert6064]

Montgomery was a great general who never lost a battle and took care of his troops. A truly great man.

[@zonated9907]

@@alangilbert6064 "Never lost a battle". What of the men lying in Arnhem?

[@j.kearney484]

Depending on who you ask, he was either the greatest or the worst allied commander of the war. There is apparently no room for nuance in such a discussion : /
