Normandy was'nt concieved by Monty,but by Lieutenant General Frederick Morgan,he was the original planner of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Europe. It was changed by Monty,and yes Monty was in charge of the 21st army group.
The 21st army group consisted of the U.S first army and the British second Army (surely you knew this?).
Monty commanded the whole operation in Normandy till the end,and I consider ths an offensive battle,and very successful.
