World War II is the largest war in human history, during which a large number of famous generals emerged, their legendary deeds are still talked about, and today we want to introduce the first British general Bernard Law Montgomery, who had the brightest "three stars" in his brilliant military career: the Battle of El Alamein, the Sicily Landing and the Normandy Landing.
Unlike some military geniuses who thought wildly, Montgomery was a very cautious strategist, and before each war officially started, he would prepare manpower, material resources, etc. in advance, and never fought an unprepared battle. After the outbreak of World War II, germany blitzed Western Europe, and Montgomery successfully commanded the Dunkirk evacuation, which was a retreat, but retained living strength and gave birth to future victories.
Montgomery commanded the most brilliant battle than the Battle of El Alamein, in which his opponent was Rommel, one of the three great generals of Nazi Germany and known as the "Desert Fox". Rommel was not a fuel-efficient lamp, he was a military genius, and even Churchill of England had to admit that he was a great general. Rommel was a "fox" who was very agile in combat and was good at using troops flexibly according to the desert terrain and climatic conditions. Montgomery, on the other hand, is a step-by-step "hunter", and his tactical style is steady and steady. Two masters of the move, and finally Montgomery defeated Rommel, turning the tide of the North African war in one fell swoop, after which Montgomery became famous and became a great hero in the minds of the British.
The Iron Man also has tenderness, Montgomery is in the battlefield, and is a good man who is obsessed with love in life. When Montgomery was young, he had no heart for children and was devoted to his career, and he was still alone until the age of 38, and people joked that "the army is Montgomery's wife." ”
Montgomery's love came very late, and in 1926 he met a woman named Betty in Switzerland and fell deeply in love with her. Betty was a widow whose husband had died in World War I and she had two children. Later, the 40-year-old Montgomery resolutely married Betty despite the understanding of others, and the following year, the two were happy to have a son. Regrettably, in 1937, Betty accidentally got a bite from a bug and got sepsis and died. Montgomery was devastated, and at his wife's funeral, he performed a long military salute. After the death of his wife, Montgomery never continued to grow up his son alone, and many people advised him to marry another, but he said: "As a soldier, I will always be loyal to the motherland, as a man I will never betray love, if I fall in love with a woman, I can no longer fall in love with another woman, just like the gun in my hand, there can only be a crosshair!" ”
