If the D-Day invasion had failed would Eisenhower of been fired and replaced by Montgomery?
Quite Possibly. Eisenhower was prepared for the consequences of failure. When the first paratroopers dropped into France on June 5, '44, he had already written a letter accepting responsibility for the failure of the Normandy invasion. If the invasion had failed, Montgomery's slow-and-steady approach to war might have prevailed. I think Churchills' quote that Montgomery was 'In defence unbeatable in victory unbearable' speaks volumes. Had D day not been successful then the consequences would have been very dire indeed. Montgomery, and I do think he was a good general, did have a personal failing of letting people (The Americans in particular) know that what had happened was all according to plan, when the truth was that he was a good enough General to adapt to a change in circumstances in the events which took place. It really didn't help anyone to have said at the Battle of the Bulge he had 'Tidied up the Battlefield' ! Above all Monty had the confidence of the men he commanded. He was not liked at all by Patton: & Eisenhower was a good diplomat in keeping these 2 acerbic personalities apart. It was said of Market-Garden by one US observer that the plan was so revolutionary that he would not have been more surprised had the teetotal, non smoking Montgomery arrived with a lady of ill virtue on either arm ! To be quite honest had D Day failed then the war in the west goes very pear shaped indeed. It would probably have resulted in the Soviet domination of Europe being even more destructive than it eventually was.
