Any accusations against gen. Sosabowski were aimed on saving the "fame" of Montgomery even against the truth and at expense of anyone at hand. The Market-Garden was far above Monty's inelectual capacity, and Sosabowski only pointed out it's weeknesses. Monty, fully aware of shortages of military achievements, wanted to make final thrust, scoring at least 1 important victorious battle in his career in WW2. Monty's "victories" in Africa are third-rated achiements, against fifth-rated Axis units. |

Halibutt, nice work. Aren't their accounts that Sosabowski escaped from the germans after the fall of Poland?
Didn't Sosabowski land in France on or about D-Day? unsigned comment by an anonymous user
I don't think the 1st Independent Polish Parachute Brigade took part in Normandy. It and 1st Airborne were held in the UK while 6th Airborne were given the Airborne drops.
On the point of a neutral point of view, there is alot of ill feeling within the Airborne community both British, American and Polish about how some of the more able commanders were treated as scapegoats and that the blame for Market Garden should be placed squarely at Montgomery and Browning.
Regardless of not conforming to the neutral point of view policy, it remains an undeniable that Sosabowski was a very intelligent, courageous and skilful commander of men. Not only that but it is a fact that he was treated very badly after the war (as well as L.Col John Frost) in order to take the pressure off of the men who had really cocked up.
There is a line between altering an article to conform to a neutral point of view and altering an article to distort or hide the truth. If this article is changed in order to satisfy some modern PC idea of non-bias then we will have crossed that line. --Pudduh 13:09, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yup, no 1st Bde at Normandy. And Sosabowski's escape from German-held Poland is quite well-explained in the article. //Halibutt 15:31, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
