On the Eisenhower question: it comes down to who made the decision to go on D-day. His was the final decision: his was the responsibility for the triumph, or the goat for the failure. Thats what they get paid the big bucks to do.
on Montgomery: you are only as good as the staff hat supports you. His was very very good, so he was good. but when they were bad..he was in deep doo doo.
