Comments by "Horatio82" (@horatio8213) on "Who to Blame? John Frost on Operation Market Garden's Failure WW2" video.
Not in Allied condition in 1944. Gain territory didn't help anyway help Allied in 1945 in ending the war. Much better was give this resources and manpower to Patton and his 3rd Army.

@Phantomrasberryblowe All that point can't cover two facts: 1) MG operational goal was to cross the Rhine and in that Operation MG failed, rest is just covering failure with excuses, 2) MG was grave to any plans to cross Rhine in 1944 or even try to push in different region. Gained territory in anyway cover losses of supply and mapower. Plus any significant German forces weren't destoryed or even weakened. No real operational or startegic succeses was gained. Allied stuck on Rhine line to 1945 thanks to Monty's arrogance. Whole MG plan was full of holes. To optimistic timetable. Underestimating enemy and poor executed inteligence. Lack of planes to transport troops. Problems with communications. ETC, etc. From start this operation was more gamble than professional military work. All typical for Monty style. All lessons from operation Overlord was basicly forgotten by Montgomery and his staff.

@Phantomrasberryblowe Plan was full of holes. Maybe Gavin just make it bigger failure. But still I am convinced that Montgomery and Browning are fathers of failure called Market-Garden. And in anyway MG was succses.

@Phantomrasberryblowe He was main gamer to push this plan, his role was to keep control on creating and execiuting it. If he didn't that, it is he's to blame, not anyone else. It is simple, good commander trust he's staff, but always check it itself! His staff and his plan failed. Not Gavin, not Sosabowski, mani fault is in Monty.
