I hope you don't base them being great friends off the movie. Bradley was an advisor during filming so it's slanted a bit.
Bradley was hesitant and had no drive. A good example is letting the Krauts escape from the Falaise Pocket. He actually ordered Patton to stop short of closing it.
He was a plodder with no imagination.

One of the greatest opening scenes in movie history.

No, I base that off things I’ve read about the two. Especially in the book dedicated to Eisenhower, Patton, and Bradley titled Brothers, Rivals, Victors.

You got a legit, verifiable source for this statement? Not some wack-a-doo blog or one disgruntled soldier's account?

Watch it's very interesting, and goes into a bit why Bradly was overrated.
