  1. Oh No! Caen was category B objective - if it could be easily taken, then take it, otherwise let the RAF bomber deal with it. Monty's plan was for the British and Canadian. on the left flank, to stay static drawing in German armour and destroying it, keeping it away from the right flank, the Americans. The American were to break out. 90% of German armour on the west was destroyed by the British. This is what happened. This plan was laid out at St.Paul's school in London prior to the operation.

  2. Oh No! he is at it again. Montgomery never made a bunder in the Western Front. He was in command of all armies. Normandy came in ahead of schedule with 22% less casualties than predicted.

  3. Operation Dragoon was not to improve logistic to the armies in NW Europe.
