Portrayal of Model.

So much sneering at both Model and Montgomery in this movie. Amazing really considering how successful both of them were. Model was reduced to little more than stock character and comes off extremely poorly, even cowardly. This was the same guy that had the guts to blow his own brains out. Model was one of the best commanders of the war, particularly in defence. They way he is portrayed in this movie is ridiculous. He is shown as offering little else but being near incompetent. In actual fact it was Model who was the overall architect of Market Garden's failure....yet you wouldn't know it from this film. He seemed clueless and blundering. He comes off even worse than Montgomery. Anyone know the reason for the hatchet job on Model for this film?? I hadn't seen the film for a while until I re-watched it yesterday and I had forgotten how poorly it treated Model.
