		Montgomery led the Eighth Army across the Strait of Messina from Sicily in early September 1943, and advanced up the Italian Peninsular, along the Adriatic coast, throughout the autumn.
		Early December found the Eighth Army engaged in the "Sangro Offensive." The goal of the attack was to break the Gustav Line, the Germans' winter rearguard for Rome, by crossing the Sangro River, drive northward to the town of Pescara, and capture the east-west highway to Rome.
		Montgomery succeeded in crossing the Sangro River in the first week of December, and crossed the Moro River, twenty miles to the south of Pescara on December 10, but was only able to reach Ortona-two miles further north-by December 28.

		Montgomery, commonly referred to as "Monty," initially earned distinction during World War II due to his highly effective leadership of the British Eighth Army in North Africa.
		There, Montgomery was the first Allied general to inflict a decisive defeat upon the Axis forces when he drove them from their positions at El Alamein in northern Egypt.
		Montgomery survived this setback, and in 1944, at the Battle of the Bulge, was given temporary command of all British and American forces on the north side of the bulging line.

	Encyclopedia: Bernard L. Montgomery
		During the Irish War of Independence (1919_1921), Montgomery was Officer Commanding the County of Cork, Ireland's largest county by area.
		This conflict was notable for the ferocity of the reprisals carried out by Crown forces in what was nominally the United Kingdom, such as the burning of homes and businesses, torture of detainees and at times outright murder.
		Cork is acknowledged by both Irish and British commentators as having been among the most bitterly contested regions, largely due to the intransigence and anti-Irish bigotry of leading officers such as Montgomery.

		Ironically, Montgomery and the RAF now came to disagree over the relationship between the air and the land commander.
		Montgomery paid lip service to the concept of independent air action, but his actions in early 1944 clearly indicate that he considered his equals in the RAF merely advisers.
		Montgomery's planned advance from the beachhead (which the airmen considered too slow) turned out to be instead over-optimistic; the actual advance was even slower.

		Operation Varsity -- Field Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery’s massive Rhine River crossing assault in coordination with the largest Airbourne operation was expected to be the main knockout blow against Germany by destroying the Ruhr industrial capacities.
		All these american attacks had attracted and destroyed most of the reinforcements sent by the germans and thus left the Rhur unprotected.
		So in conclusion Montgomery's mega campaign turned out to be an overkill afterall.
