Скачать или смотреть What Montgomery Said When Patton Reached the Rhine First

March 1945. Field Marshal Montgomery planned the largest river crossing since D-Day—Operation Plunder would involve 25 divisions and months of preparation. Every Allied general agreed: crossing the Rhine required overwhelming force and careful planning.
General George S. Patton had other ideas.
On the night of March 21st, 1945, Patton's Third Army secretly crossed the Rhine at Oppenheim with assault boats and sheer audacity—three days before Montgomery's massive operation even began. With just 28 casualties, Patton's forces established a bridgehead and proved that the "impossible" Rhine crossing could be done with speed and surprise instead of massive preparation.
When Montgomery learned that Patton beat him to the Rhine, his response was cold and dismissive: "A mere piss in the Rhine."
This is the untold story of one of World War II's greatest rivalries, where two military philosophies collided on the banks of Europe's most formidable river. Discover how Patton's aggressive tactics outpaced Montgomery's careful planning, and why this single night changed Allied strategy for the remainder of the war.
