I said, "Truly, he isn't the only general who did that in the war, lots of others.."

"Before we go on a huge "British bashing" campaign.
I would just like to say that the British actually did link up with both 101 and 82nd using one road using British Infantry and Armor. And TOOK Arnhem bridge initially and prevented them from laying DEMO on it. All the while with bad radio equipment and little support.
German resistance was heavy, VERY heavy. Crack Panzer divisions being reformed from the Russian front. SS Divisions. The whole damn thing. Not to mention 2 field Marshals and 3 generals all of which with both experience and close relations with Hitler allowing for preferential treatment in terms of support from Germany.
I would hardly call it "Brits being cocky". Britain was perhaps arrogant, but even then, if it HAD been old men and children.... it would have worked. I think that German resistance played more of a role than Britains arrogance."

Battle was lost before it even started..
Yes there was British Arrogance of the same kind that
resulted in the Somme Slaughter..
Not listening to the intel on the ground, and the whole Radio
Commo botch job, just sealed the deal..
Both SS Hohenstoufen and Frundsberg were in the area Refitting..
They landed right on top of them.. Case closed..
I will say, they did very well gtting as far as they did.. But
overall, this was like the Germ"an Ardennes Offensive..
Doomed from the start!"
