Vote for who you think was the greatest general of WWII. Think not just in terms of battles won but overall strategic prowess and intelligence.

Well, Rommel because of his valiant effort at North Africa with just 4 divisions!!
Zhukov because commander of a depleted army is... You know, tough.

Johannes Eugen Erwin Rommel or Kuribayashi Tadamichi. Kuribayashi? That's a surprise. Mind explaining why? For one thing, his pessimism of the war in general (get it, in General) and also the most brilliant loss of the war, perhaps of all time. Read up on Iwo Jima, and it is just astounding how good his strategy was. |

Also how the hell has Manstein not recieved any more votes? Yes He had a stronger army than Rommel but his actual strategic planning was much better than Rommel's, who only knew how to flank. Manstein could launch direct assualts, pincer movements, attacking retreats... There was literally nothing he couldn't do. Mark my words, had Manstein been given overall command of the Wehrmacht after Brauchist was sacked, the war would be over by 1943.
In conclusion, It's Manstein 100%

I feel that allied generals were not as competent as of their axis counterparts because they had the industrial might of their country. Exception - Zhukov. |
