@vincevandergoes2362 Reality is that all idiotic decisions made by British were pointed by Gen. Sosabowski and as history shows he was right. That is why Montgomery was happy to put all blame on him and his man. It was not "German victory" just British incompetence and typical for British ignorance toward someone just because he was not part of British nobility... Gen. Sosabowski was experienced soldier that was also fully aware what paratroopers can and can't do as he creaded first Polish paratrooper unit and became paratrooper himself. Just read Montgomery bio and compare it with Sosabowski. ""Conspicuous gallant leading on 13th October, when he turned the enemy out of their trenches with the bayonet. He was severely wounded." this small guy severely wounded in knee and Germans runing awey from him because he have bayonet... HAHA vs. "After the outbreak of World War I he fought with his unit against the Imperial Russian Army in the battles of Rzeszów, Dukla Pass and Gorlice. For his bravery, he was awarded several medals and promoted to First Lieutenant. In 1915, he was badly wounded in action and withdrawn from the front. " he got several medals for his actions not because of fact that someone was able to wound him... On top of that he was in German army when he was fighting with Russians, so he got inside knowledge of German army...

Sosabowski pointed all the flaws of this plan during planing and Montgomery ignored his imput and after all his flaws showed to be true Montgomery lied about Sosabowski and his man and made a scapegoat out of him and the guy died in poverty and until 2006 British was doing everyithing to block any recognition of Sosabowski and his man action during operation Market Garden. In 2006 Dutch made the move to put some light on the truth but it is not the truth that British are ready to accept.

Just read gen. Sosabowski bio on wikipedia there is whole story why the plan failed... British wanted this plan to fail so they could use it against Polish and ignore all the promisses that they were giving to Polish government on exile and gen. Sikorski that died in plane crash with all his people but somehow Czech pilot of the plane survived... dont know any crash like that where all people die but pilot is fine.

@thevillaaston7811 Fact that gen. Sosabowski during planing of the operation pointed most of the big flaws of this plan and was not only ignored by Mountgomery but he was happy to blame him for his own faults and lie that gen. Sosabowski and his soldiers were fighting badly... gen. Sosabowski died in poverty because of all that lies and British was doing everything to hide truth about him and his men in this whole operation. Dutch TV showed document about it and ofc noone in Britain saw it or is interested in facts but because of that document Dutch made decision to ignore British wishes and made recognition of Gen. Sosabowski and his man actions...

But it is not a coincidence that gen. Sosabowski was able to point every flaw of this plan as he was the best guy to be in charge, but he was not British noble like Montgomery so now people like you gonna blame everyone but not people responsible. Montgomery was happy to lie after the failure that it was all Sosabowski and his men fault and the guy died in poverty as British striped him out of his military pension because of all the lies that they were happy to spread... "During the planning for Operation Market Garden, Sosabowski expressed serious concerns regarding the feasibility of the mission.[2] Among Sosabowski's concerns were the poorly conceived drop zones at Arnhem, the long distances between the landing zones and Arnhem Bridge and that the area would contain a greater German presence than British intelligence believed.[3] Despite Sosabowski's concerns and warnings from the Dutch Resistance that two SS Panzer Division were in the operations area, Market Garden proceeded as planned." you can find it even on wikipedia...

They did not need ultra reports as they got gen. Sosabowski and he pointed flaws of that plan perfectly but he was not a British noble so they were happy to ignore and after all his predictions were confirmed by reality he was made a scapegoat and Montgomery even lied about his and his men actions during combat and that is why gen. Sosabowski died in poverty as he was striped from his pension and recognition until 2006 when Dutch ignored British objections and made recognition of Sosabowski and his man actions.
