STORY BEHIND MONTGOMERY-
( BRADLEY COMMAND SHIFT
There ii significant background
behind the appointment of British
Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery
to command two American armies,
thereby taking away most of the
command of Lieut. Gen. Omar N.
Bradley. There are also Interesting
reasons why it wus kept such a
hush-hush matter from the Ameri
can public.
General Bradley has now been
awarded the bronte star by
Eisenhower and congratulated
by Churchill to take the sting
out of his loss of the First and
Ninth armies. The idea that
Bradley made the transfer him
self also haa been publicised.
Despite these maneuvers it is
known inside the war depart
ment that highest V. S. war
chiefs opposed the transfer to
Montgomery and that it was put

back to the landing in Normandy
last summer when Montgomery was
given Caen as his objective, while
Bradley was to take Cherbourg.
Bradley reached his objective ahead
of schedule in a new type of of
fensive fighting, in which U. S.
troops did not wait for supplies to
come up nor for snipers to be wiped
out.
Montgomery, using more conserva
tive. slow-moving old-fashioned tac
tics. sat with his army at Caen and
either could not or would not break
through until long after schedule,
and until Bradley, ignoring Mont
gomery, smashed the Nazi lines to
the south and started the lightning
dash to Paris.
‘Montgomery Demoted.*
Afterward, the Stars and Stripes
carried a story that Bradley was
being promoted to the rank of full
general and would supersede Mont
gomery. The Stars and Stripes be
ing an official army newspaper, the
story naturally was true. But pub
lication in London caused such a
furor among the British that the
British broadcasting company went
on the air with an emphatic denial
After that the shift of armies was
held up for a while, until Mont
gomery could be made a Field M ar
shal to appease both him and Brit
ish public opinion. Bradley then took
over command of all the American
armies under Eisenhower, and

back. His friends of the British
press—of whom he has many—have
been doing the same. So immediate
ly following the German break
through, he began pressuring Eisen
hower to give him the American
First and Ninth armies.
Montgomery is a superb defensive
figher. When his back was to the
wall at El Alamein just a few miles
from Cairo, he did a great job.
When given offensive jobs as in
Sicily, at Caen, and at Arnhem he
failed to make the grade.
How much of Eisenhower's
decision to put Montgomery in
command of the two American
armies depended upon his ability
as a defensive fighter, and how
much on British pressure is not
known. It is known, however,
the transfer of commands was
opposed in the war department
and was carefully hushed-up for
two weeks and not even all of
the top-ranking executives in
the Pentagon building knew
about it.
Also it is a significant fact that

The note read: “ I believe I stud
