Monty was totally mystified by Caen he would push his forces ahead during the day and by night they were back where they started , Monty couldn't understand what the problem was ? about that time Ike lit a fire under Monty's ass so Monty did the logical thing he destroyed the City even though the Germans weren't there .

His problem was always being too stodgy - even the Germans knew that.
