Maybe this has been discussed before (probably has):

Would Slim have done a better job in the Desert Campaign? better than Monty?

Would Slim have done a better job as ground commander in France? Would he have got Eisenhover to finish the war in 1944? Could Monty have conquered the Japanese forces in Burma?

I do believe that Monty was right for the Desert and he got the Overlord planning right. However, didn't his nature get the better of him in useless disputes with Eisenhover, Bradley, etc etc? To the point where it prolonged the war?

What could have happened if the "Burma" commanders were in North Africa/France and the "Overlord" people in Asia?

Did Brooke keep Slim in Burma because he didn't quite trust him? Despite all Brooke's clever ways, I don;t think he really got to grips with the Asia campaigns.
