What the FUCK were they thinking?
>another market garden threadthey were trying to end the war in 1944 but everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong and they still nearly pulled it off.
>>65512555>>65512547They should've diverted those resources to capturing the Scheldt as soon as possible to open the port of Antwerp to Allied shipping. Having an open cargo port for supplies, reinforcements and fuel wouldve made such a risky operation pointless.
>>65512547I've only ever seen the movie, and in my ignorance, my perception is that it was the fault of XXX Corps. Seems like the British officers weren't capable of blitzkrieg.
>>65512547>Montgomery is a genius!!
>>65512547It nearly worked.>>65512555FPBP and /thread
>>65512547Monty should've lost his job for this; Ike should've lost his job for letting Monty browbeat him into approving it.
>>65512555It's not their fault that the bridge was too far over the river Kwai in Remagen.
>>65512547never trust a brit
>>65512547>this time the airborne thing will toatlly work, trust me bro!>just one more drop bro!
LUL. Jew lovers just can't accept that they lost the battle.
>>65513151What?
>>65512772turns out it was a bad idea to try and send 30,000 men in column down a single four lane road with no reconnaissance or flank security
>>65512555I will never be able to fathom why they made things harder for themselves just so they could fuck over the Poles
>>65512547Monty thought he could do a Rommel. Thing is, the Bongs fought like the Soviets, i.e., overwhelming numerical and artillery superiority but on a smaller scale. The average Bong WW2 soldier were dumb city peasants only marginally smarter than a Soviet conscript. Coupled with a rigid social caste system, they just can't into flexible tactical manoevres at the squad and company level. Decision had to be made from the Battalion HQ. It was doomed from the start.
Lol, he's trying so hard to bait people into his shit thread
>>65513151It was a tactical failure but anything the Allies did by that point in the war was basically a guaranteed strategic victory because the Germans had to give up on any offensive maneuvers / counterattacks and retreat in an attempt to stop the Soviet rape wave coming from the east
>>65512547'win or lose, it'll make for a great film'
>>65512772The terrain doesn't allow for it. Vehicles have to stick to elevated roadways meaning there is no room for maneuver. Everything gets bottlenecked into chokepoints. The British had a numerical advantage meaning all they had to do is overpower one roadblock and the rest of the line would crumble as the Germans were stretched thin, but that still took time, too much time for an operation like this.There's a good argument to be made that Montgomery should have cleared the Scheldt first, then cleared everything up to the Meuse. Then, he should have dropped the entire airborne corps between Nijmegen and Arnhem.
>>65513394Poles are extremely annoying and pretty much anyone who is around them for longer wants to see them suffer. They're like that annoying kid in school constantly demanding attention and making up lies.
>>65513201>Single four lane roadYou don't know the worst. This bit were on now. It's the wide part.
>>65512814close only counts with horseshoes and hand grenades
>>65515780heh
>>65515748i met a good pole who plays RTS games with me :)
>>65513151Kikipedia literally protect pedo page like Leo Frank lol
>>65515748My theory is there were so many Jews in Poland that they started adopting their behaviours. Like in the USA today.
>>65512547They sent Yankees and Bongs to do a Southerner's job.
>>65517115I've seen this meme thousands of times and I still have no idea what it means
>>65512547Operation Market Garden was a victory. It still recaptured thousands of square miles of territory and liberated multiple towns. Just because it did not achieve 100% of its objectives does not make it a failure and it only gets talked up as one both by patronising Americans who enjoy bullying and looking down on the other allies, and Wehraboos who desperately cling to any excuse to claim a late-war success when they were suffering catastrophe after catastrophe.
>>65514718Absolute retard take.Especially loving the claim of>they just can't into flexible tactical manoevres at the squad and company levelwhile you're talking about the army that literally invented modern flexible tactical maneuver and combined-arms tactics at the squad and company level back in 1917-18.Are you a butthurt zigger or just generally retarded?
>>65517219>suffering lopsided casualties against an enemy you outnumber and outgun massively, while failing to achieve any of your operational objectives, is actually a victory
>>65517227The ziggers are really mad about the Lyman front collapsing.
>>65517219see >>65517229No one says it was a victory
>>65517115I knew you would show up
>>65517123It's a heavily pregnant Anne Frank staring up in awe at a Confederate soldier who just blasted the Nazis trying to capture her. How much more explanation do you need?>>65517254
