Actually, you're wrong. "At the time" Bradley commanded an Army Group. 12th Army Group to be exact. +/- a million. In fact, because the germans had effectively split Bradley's command in two, two whole armies (1st and 9th) were temporarily transferred to Montgomery's 21st Army Group on the north. As far as Bradley is concerned, history will eventually view him as somewhat of a dud. It takes at least 100 years for history to catch up to events. His reputation as "The GIs General" was largely hot air pumped up by Ernie Pyle. George Marshall said: "Bradley's 'comman man' image was largely played up by Ernie Pyle. The GIs were not impressed with him. They scarcely knew him. He's not a flamboyant figure and didn't get out much with the troops. And the idea that he was idolized by the average soldier is just rot."
