It just so happens that my father was a sergeant in the US Army of the
day. I was a little interested in what he said to me. He only
mentioned Montgomery once. He said the only time the division (82nd
ABN) ever yielded ground to the Germans was when ordered to do so by
Montgomery in order to tidy the line. In this case Montgomery was a
demotivator of men.
