Montgomery-- was borderline
incompetent. None of his plans ever worked even remotely as advertised.
Crap,
he planned the raid of Dieppe. Look how that turned out.
I wonder why Brits under command of incompetent Generals suffered much less
casaulties than US soldiers under command of military geniuses on D-Day?
At least partly because the Americans faced a first line infantry formation
that was on manuevers in the area right behind Omaha Beach.
At Utah, the US casualties were similar to those on Brit/Canadian beaches.
