My vote is split as its hard to pick one our two out of a poll of wondermakers. For defence I'd say Petain 100%, while in general Id say Falkenhyn deserves more respect than given, Mackensen was very effective in his campaign at Romania. I love also Emil Vorbecks deeds even tbough his victories in Africa wouldnt lat to that major of a turning point in the main theatres. Id also say a lot of great about Ataturk as his army and nation were not made for the conflict of the great war.

Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, the German General who surrendered later than Germany itself, the General by the German population was called the General who never surrendered, the General who with 2,000 men stopped an army of 100,000 soldiers for 4 years.

Europe was where most of the activity were, so it kind of downplayed many other battles like the African front, and also in Asia with one significant naval battle, the Battle of Penang |

I am not too familiar with WW1 history as I have just picked it up last week, but I think it offers a good break and step back into context from what I have been delving into nowadays, ww2.

Almost all of these are featured in EW6: 1914.

Colonel Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck was perhaps the greatest commander of any war, losing no battles, even when he was vastly outnumbered.
