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% Manstein was a strategist, while Rommel was a tactician. It is like comparing apples to oranges. Not really. Manstein played about the same role on the Eastern Front as Rommel did in North Africa, and although both ultimately failed, Rommel screwed himself by overextending his own supply lines, while Manstein would have won his battles had he not been constantly overruled because Hitler fancied himself a strategist |

He was commanded by Hitler to do so. As for the second part true! |

Hitler wasn't an awful strategist, but he listened to the wrong people at the wrong times. |

Zhukov is the best allied commander. He was brilliant on field.

Seriously? Quora? I have at-the-time manuscripts about the gens and have read each of their works, as well as studying in-depth. My mind is made up. Rommel for tactics, Manstein for strategy and Logistics, Guderian for, idunno, inventing doctrines? |
