WW2: Who were the best German Generals?
Video: Creativity: Ben Klassens Autobiography: Against the Evil Tide
At the beginning of this book, I discuss why I think its excellent and some of the things that blew me away and impressed the hell out of me. This book is very long, but you can randomly listen to any part of it.
[I was watching a video when I noticed a fascinating comment by someone who really seemed to know his stuff. I'm well aware of Von Manstein being the greatest strategist – though he was pretty good tactically too I must say. Anyhow, this little summary of the German Generals is interesting and I will need to look more closely at some of them. I am surprised that Hitler trusted General Model the most. That is of interest. Kesselring is also someone I've not studied. Jan]
So here are the comments which seem relatively sound:
Best strategist: Manstein. Best offensive tactician: Rommel. Best defensive tactician: Heinrici. Best theoretician: Guderian. Most versatile: Kesselring. Best on balance: Rundstedt. Best general trusted by Hitler: Model. My two Pfennigs anyway.
