Info about Montgomery

[Kris]

Hello all,

I'm looking for some info on Montgomery.
Is it true he had look-alikes and is this documented ?

Why am i asking? Well, here's the story.

Our little town here in Flanders (Belgium) was liberated on the 3rd of september 1944 by English troops. The story goes that a a few days later Montgomery passed is our village. This is documented (no pics), but it is not clear if it was Monty...because, on the 16th of march 1945 he passes (again?) in our village. And now it's documented with pictures and more.

Historical groups from our vilalge are trying to find out what really happened.
So, could it be possible that in september 1944 a look-alike passed here?

100% certain is he was here in march 1945.

Any info is greatly appreciated

Hi Kris, the story of the double is true and was even made into a movie.

I am not sure if Monty himself passed through your village. It should be possible to find out where Monty was on that date.

Cheers, Ade.
