Zhukov was completely dependent on the brilliance of his subordinates, and in addition, wasted many men, vehicles, and money on a fruitless defense and counterattack of Moskva. Bagration was almost entirely Rokossovsky, Operation Kutuzov and the Ukrainian and Leningrad and Stalingrad operations weren't him, either. I fail to see a single good operation where he was the commander. In the case Of MacArthur, his Army (with naval support) single-handedly won the Southern war in the Pacific, IMO only second to China in terms of Importance (this was where Japan was getting the vast majority of its natural resources). In addition, he did this without the need for subordinate brilliance (which, except for Vandegrift, he mostly lacked), and with very few casualties. 1. Defence and counteroffensive near Moscow weren’t fruitless at all. Germans had numerical superiority even at the point, when the Red Army started the counteroffensive, so the operation was very difficult for the Soviet side. There was no option of losing Moscow, in terms of morale, transport, war industry etc. 2. Rokossovskiy commanded only one front (the 1st Byelorussian) of 4, which participated in operation Bagration. The operation plan was developed mainly by Vasilevskiy, Zhukov and Stavka members, Rokossovskiy planned only its southern wing - Bobruisk cauldron. During the operation he was subordinated to Zhukov, who coordinated the actions of the 1st and the 2nd Byelorussian fronts - and that’s a big part of executing the whole offensive. 3. Zhukov commanded the 1st Ukrainian front after the death of Vatutin in 1944 and led the Proskurov-Chernovzi operation, which has seen a partial success, but still liberated a big part of Ukraine. 4. Vasilevskiy and Zhukov were the 2 co-authors of the general idea of operation Uranus - so Zhukov played a role in the Battle of Stalingrad. 5. Zhukov literally saved Leningrad in September 1941 by organising an effective defence. 6. He lose less percents of his men in both Moscow and Berlin battles than his neighbour Konev. alexandrvasilevski, you should really join the Historical Society.

I think, Eisenhower because D-day was crucial. And from Axis side?? Gerd von Rundstedt , because he was also a big part of the Western Front. And Erich von Manstein, because he was the best commander in the Eastern Front
