It is surprising because among most historians Manstein is considered the better commander, the best of the war actually.

Of course most people in the English speaking world aren't interested in the Eastern Front.
That is so true!

In fact I asked a few people at the office on whether they knew anything about the Eastern front in WWII and the general kind of reply was either:

1) "Eastern front? Whats that?"
2) "You mean USA fighting Japanese?"
3) "You mean USA fighting Russians?" (no joke)
4) "Well, the USA did most of the fighting with Germany anyway, so whats the big deal?"

Well, at least I had a good laugh at work

P.S.
w00t a non-white guy made it, go China (prolly should've been Zhu De or Lin Biao instead but I guess I didn't put up the names in round 1, my bad).
