Also heard of El Alemain. National pride has nothing to do with it.

Not going to dispute market garden was a failure because in patently was, but not going to conveniently ignore what came before as you have subjectively done yet again with your wealth of knowledge on military history.

No general is perfect, Rommel whoever, all have successes and failures, given enough time in command.
