Erwin Rommel born November 15, 1891
Bernard Montgomery born November 17, 1887
Both born in November which is kind of interesting.
Leaving aside the reality that Montgomery was not always quite the brave gallant hero the british crown historians and media make out. Montgomery for example had no problem burning ordinary Irish family houses to the ground, at least any Irish of that huge democratic majority in Ireland of the time who disagreed with his colonial politics, monty it seems never cared who got hurt and burned out, even if meant supressing democracy itself, all so very hitler youth like!

While on the contrary, it appears that considered history has Rommel as the more reasonable and less eager to enforce extremes!
So leaving aside sir monty was a bit of a cowardly skinny cartoon-rat-look-a-like thug but one who had behind him more and bigger guns, I'd be interested in your thoughts and considered decision on who would have made the better captain for Celtic, if events had of turned our differently!
