I like Patton. I know Montgomery kept the Nazis from the oil fields of Iran, no doubt he was a tremendous leader. But I think when you factor in the 3rd Army's advancement, the relief of Bastonage, Patton being used as a decoy on D-Day. Along Monty's brainchild failure "Market Garden" and the fact Patton (this is the romantic in me), Patton could have been in Moscow, personally hunting Uncle Joe, in a few months. But that's another topic.
