Heinrici - not entirely a "blame game" but facts which are not always accepted by some and the facts should come out as you rightly point out - there is much drivel spilled on these hindsight actions - we have some "junior" members wondering why the commanders don't show up on the battlefelds ? -another asking why we didn't trust the Dutch Intelligence - others stating that "one of the few bold moves by Monty became a failure on such a grand scale" - he obviously has never heard of Alam Halfa - Medenine - Wadi Akirit - Mareth - El Hamma - Tunis - Caen and Falaise - but Ahrnem failed on a grand scale - really ! This is the result of not knowing All of the facts - ask Sapper - he was there !
