I say it was made up, but maybe they were trying to emphasize that if Eisenhower were in charge rather than Montgomery things would've been different. ??. Thats what I figure just my crazy idea.

Re: BoB Market Garden scene
 

Um, US and Commonwealth/British units were generally under their own country's commanders either until very high up in the chain of command or only for special circumstances/individual missions. That sort of order would not come from Montgomery or Eisenhower.

Anywa, there's something to be said for just blanketing an area in massive amounts of ammunition "just in case".

Re: BoB Market Garden scene
 

Not like Montgomery told them to do that, but the whole operation Market Garden(where Montgomery was in charge). Anyone know what I'm trying to say? More like the bigger picture, similar to the smaller one. What's his face tells him to shoot a couple rounds in that house, but the British guy is reluctant. Something of that nature.

Super

Re: BoB Market Garden scene
 

The same scene is in the book, so I doubt it was completely made up.

I'm pretty sure that he's screwed regardless.
