A full hour of British hatred of one of America's top war heroes. It's almost as if Montgomery himself had written the script for it.
I found it interesting that the "History's verdict" episode devoted to Monty glossed over his dismal failure in Operation Market Garden, not touching it until late in the show.
But Patton's version OPENED and focused for several minutes on his failed raid on a German POW camp.
Later, they mention his unremarkable performance at West Point, without giving him props for making it through the academy with dyslexia.
Patton is given props for his tactical genius in Sicily and during the Battle of the Bulge (even the Brits couldn't gloss over that).
But the close of the show, they quote noted leftest and Patton hater Dwight MacDonald on his negative views about the general....never mentioning MacDonald's politics.
