@neosdark
He meant that you cannot speculate about it, you need to decide it based on the real facts.

right after WW2 russias army was way superior to the war weary british and american armys
and on the american air superiority...i am not sure but i think russia had more fighters, just less heavy bombers

In fact, the soviet air force was AT LEAST equivalent to USAF or RAF, due to the high number of experienced pilots using well-made and reliable aircraft. But I agree that soviet heavy bombers were just too old to be efficient.

Montgomery was a coward, he wasn't willing to take risk if it ruined his reputation.

Not his reputation, his army. He cared too get the job done, thats all. Allways fighting the main German force while head on wasnt the best way to get fameous but it had too be done by someone.

Patton on the other hand didnt care about getting else than reputation. His father once said to him: "George, I got the money for the family, you get the glory". Thats why solidiers called him "His guts, our blood".
IMO Omar Bradley was the best US general.
