ICM 35617 Montgomery’s Staff Set of 4 Figures 1/35 SCALE

Description

Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery was one of the most prominent and successful British commanders of World War II. His military career began in World War I, where he suffered severe injuries but continued to serve as a staff officer. During the interwar period, Montgomery held various positions, and just before World War II, he was appointed commander of the 3rd Division of the British Expeditionary Force in France. In the autumn of 1942, he became the commander of British forces in North Africa and later achieved victory over the famed “Desert Fox,” German Field Marshal Rommel.

In December 1943, Montgomery was appointed as the commander of the 21st Army Group and the overall commander of Allied ground forces in Europe, also participating in the planning of Operation Overlord. In the autumn of 1944, he was promoted to the rank of Field Marshal. Montgomery, often known as “Monty,” was highly regarded for his modesty in personal life and communication with soldiers. They appreciated this, and he was deservedly called “The Spartan General.”
