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.
