Jagger, just don't make a "who was the best fighter pilot of ww2" poll. I mean first 100 places will be german anyway
About the same for panzer commander, but germans did have much better armour at the time anyway...

Re: The Most Skilled WW2 Commander
De'Gaulle had a theoretical grasp of armoured warfare but doesn't seem to have done well in the field. Among the French I heard that General Charles Huntziger was good but I do not know as much about him as I would like.
Lieutenant General Richard O'Connor was perhaps the best and it would have been interesting seeing him take on Rommel as they had similar styles. General Gotthard Heinrici was probably the best defensive commander.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
-- John Stewart Mills
But from the absolute will of an entire people there is no appeal, no redemption, no refuge but treason.
