Thoughts

[edit]
  • It might not be a bad idea to add something on how disastrous Market-Garden was for the Allies as a result of Montgomery ignoring the warnings from Strong and others. Even if there's nothing more about Strong himself (did he gain any criticism for the warning, or perhaps even post-war praise?) it would be good to show to the reader what the consequences were of ignoring the warning. This would then match what has been written about the Battle of the Bulge and the German reserve.
  • Also, is there any way of explaining how Strong identified the German reserve in December '44, and what it was composed of? Then it would match the Market-Garden section, which details what Strong and Urquhart found. Skinny87 (talk) 06:48, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
" ... how disastrous Market-Garden was for the Allies as a result of Montgomery ignoring the warnings from Strong and others" - it wasn't 'disastrous' until the Allied forces failed to capture all of the bridges. XXX Corps was an armoured force and so would have countered the 'resting' panzer forces in the usual way, once XXX Corps had been able to get to Arnhem via the captured bridges. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.148.8.216 (talk) 12:18, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
