All in all Market Garden was bad option in my opinion. Montgomery simply lost respect to German commanders.
In the end elite division was destroyed, polish brigade lost hundreds of soldiers (as I wrote) without any reason
and Germans were given some weeks to prepare battle of bulge.

One town. Same for the English. Succeeded to keep one town then out.
And they as well are coming back. Arabs for work, English for nice life after a hard life of work and bad weather…
Just a proof the French are indeed resilient but always succeed and France is THE final destination where even old enemies want to live….
:-D

Well I suppose I should close the thread at this point. It is past bedtime for the kids, they are getting restless.
