By January 1945 after Field-Marshal Montgomery had secretly commanded the majority of US troops in the Battle of the Bulge he had had enough of the 'special relationship' between the USA and Great Britain now dominated by the USA. He tried to torpedo the whole concept leaving the US leadership suspicious of him and British military leadership for years to come. Monty failed. The alliance went on to victory and the concept of an Anglo-American special relationship became embedded in British political thinking.
