It was Monty who ruined it pattons plan was different but they listen to monty patton knew how to cut them off its alexanders fault anyways you know as they say shit flows down
@L337karma All Patton was interested in was taking Palermo and getting the glory of liberating the Sicilian Capital. He didn't spare one thought to trapping the Germans or finishing them off. He advanced through good tank country against negligible opposition all the while ignoring all requests for help in fighting the Germans on the Etna line. When he recieved the order to go to Messina he ignored it so he could take Palermo first. Palermo was worthless to the Allied Campaign.
@L337karma When Monty learnt that Patton was around the Palermo region he suggested to Alexander that Patton be sent to take Messina as his was the better position to do it with the Germans strongly entrenched in front of the 8th Army. Patton deluded himself into thinking it was a race to tak Messina between him and Monty. Monty had given up the prize and began pulling troops out for the invasion of the Italian mainland. When Patton finally engaged the Germans he did no better than the British.
@L337karma Alexander was to blame for the poor coordination of the campaign. He didn't exersize any tactical or strategic control over any of the forces under him. He made no plans for the invasion or post invasion phase of the operation, he let Montgomery and Patton do what they wanted and only gave orders when pressured by Monty to do so. He showed a complete lack of grip, control and determination and as a result the Germans managed to escape with little difficulty.
You could never compare The allies soldiers with the Germans.The Germans occupieded all of Europe For 2 months,They had everything skilled,,Brave ,experienc,s,militancy ect.
In the WW2 Germany had 400 000 Dead
The allies Had 600 000O - counting only British and Americans Dead In only less then one year .FUNNY
In Russia Germany had 5 000 000 milion dead
Numbers here say Everything Without The russsians America and England would easy lose the war they had much luck.
I believe that most of the planes were in Britain to guard the island from bomber attacks as well as preparing for D-Day. In Sicily, I think the planes were used mostly for defensive roles.
Long way To Messina.

@TheWELSHGUARD Patton was better than Monty, like him or not. Monty was way to cautious and stalled to often.
