marred

Rating: Null/10 (14 January 2002)

a good film which is marred for many Brits, with the inclusion of that quip against Montgomery, repeated by some reviwers.
Montgomery and the British divisions face the toughest forces on D-Day, they were up agianst the only SS Panzer divisions on the day. Montgomery wanted to go careful to lessen casualties, nothing wrong with that - after all the British and their Commonwealth allies had been fighting since 1939.
The Americans created their own difficulties at Omaha, by landing away from the original beach.
