Patton and War Crimes

[Sarmatian]

im talking ww2 generals in germany. i liked him persoanlly in his private life as well.

but whats impressive is how well he managed against both Patton and Montgomery as foes and with the italians to back him up (lol)

but no he isnt my favorite generals just my favorite of the ww2 germans.

Bah, I don't know... He showed some promise in France but then was relegated to Africa. He might have turned out great but he we'll never know. Also, his idea about putting tanks on the beaches, in range of heavy guns from the allied ships, during overlord makes you wonder about his military capabilities.

I feel it's more propaganda. Allies needed an explanation for the failures so they built up Rommel and DAK. "Ok we did perform poorly, but we were against the best of Wehrmacht fighting under best commander Wehrmacht has to offer" type of thing...

And neither Monty nor Patton deserve that much recognition in my book. Patton did show some glimpses of quality but he never had the opportunity to prove his skill in a large scale operation, so he's just an interesting "what if" for me, and the less said about Monty the better.

On the other hand, Patton is definitely the most interesting character among the Allied generals.
