The accusation might be levelled that some of the hierarchy still held onto strategies from the first war and were sticks in the mud with their attitudes. Monty was accused on a number of occasions of being over cautious and not being flexible - but others say he based his tactics on his experiences in the first. There is no doubt his courage as he was injured a number of times. It is easy for his detractors to criticise in hindsight. Then again looking at Hitler's ineptness and inflexible attitude, it would be interesting to see how the war would have progressed if Hitler had been killed/ died early on and the Generals had carried on.
