Montgomery was of course afraid of Patton, and after several defeats or stabbing Louzi, Montgomery clashed with Barton, and he couldn't lift his head in front of the hot-tempered Patton.
Eisenhower was the commander-in-chief and a "politician general", and he spent most of his time balancing, diplomacy, and dispatching, just to coax the baby with the mud, and even he had to take the initiative to give in and save face for Montgomery.
Eisenhower had to be more moderate in his duties; he was not here to cause conflict among the Allies, so he had to have good relations with the generals.
Montgomery didn't need to be afraid of Eisenhower, the marshal was essentially only responsible for Downing Street, and his energy was not weak. For example, the "Market-Garden Operation" was actually planned by Montgomery at the behest of the British high-level, which is related to the British national strategy, so the American top level also had to make concessions, let alone Eisenhower, he was just a "mediator".
As for General Patton, this was a complete gunpowder basket, hot-tempered, explosive, full of American style, and played with less than a pot of urine from the British gentleman at the beginning. Patton, who had excellent command ability, despised the incompetent tactical ability of the British generals, especially because he was quite contemptuous of their self-proclaimed victory over Rommel, and did not hesitate to express this sentiment in the open, especially when the British made mistakes in the battle.
Montgomery was indeed a tactical dwarf, or "conservative", and the reason why he was able to defeat the "Desert Fox" was largely due to the strategic laying of the former Marshal Okinlake, who was like a ready-made man, and he especially liked to pick up American military merits from british interests. Eating American food, American eggs, and appearing incompetent and strong, this is not unforgiving.
In fact, Montgomery was not as bad as he said, the tactical dwarf was a strategic wizard, at least the British began to win from him, and swept through Africa, driving the Germans out of North Africa. Montgomery himself, however, was very weak-minded, because by this time Britain's national strength had declined, and he had to fight the Germans while competing with the Americans who provided support for strategic initiative.
One of the main reasons why Eisenhower was able to become commander-in-chief was that the Americans were already in charge at this time, they were nominally "helping Britain fight Germany", but in fact they came to intervene in European politics, and in the end the US army not only sent a large army to the European continent, but also bore most of the Allied supplies, logistics and equipment.
In the face of such an United States, the British are actually very embarrassed, without the Help of the United States they can not win the war, the Americans came a little bit of rudeness, thinking about it, the British had to choose to cooperate with this biggest reinforcement, but cooperation is cooperation, when competing for the strategic initiative is not ambiguous, and Montgomery is an executor.
From the Sicilian landings to Operation Market Garden, we can all see Montgomery's plans based on British interests, which makes patton's US military quite unhappy, so we see that the US military is really rude, they understand that Eisenhower is his own people, no matter how "and slime" is also based on American interests, and these generals have no interest in getting involved with politics, so when Montgomery makes a choice against the US military based on national interests, they will not give a good face.
For example, Operation Market Garden, a battle planned by Montgomery, was not a well-planned tactical battle, but a political battle based on British interests and aimed at allowing the British to seize Germany as soon as possible. In order to squeeze the American army back from the "main battle" status back to the "helper", and at the same time, the British army rushed into Germany in front of the Soviet army on the Eastern Front.
But before that, Patton's troops marched all the way, played very smoothly, and once they reached the "market garden", the dirty political interests of the British buried countless elite troops, and also affected the rhythm of the Allied offensive, which gave the Germans a chance to breathe. Whoever stands in Patton's position will curse Montgomery to death.
In fact, we also know that Americans are really clean? Eisenhower was merely retreating to advance, and a limited defeat buried Britain's overall situation, what could be better than this?
Therefore, after the Market Garden Operation, the red and white faces of the Americans sang extremely smoothly, and Eisenhower gave Montgomery a black pot, taking responsibility and finding comfort. Patton, on the other hand, honestly and unceremoniously taunted, spit, and acted rudely. In fact, this is just a gesture, in order to regain the initiative from the British.
And poor Monty, what else could he do at this time except passively accept all good intentions or malice? He also wants to face, anyway, eat people's mouths are short, the British army can only rely on the US army, so why not lower the posture?
