Favorite Historical Figures

[Strike For The South]

Harry S. Truman. (As he is legendary, and I'm a bit surprised he's not on your list tbh SFTS.[FONT=Verdana])]

I never understood the [oral praise] given to Truman

I've never liked Patton. Was given an army on the side which was winning the war, only blitzed across France because the German Army Group B had been annihilated and then the moment he bumped in to resistance at Metz he stalled. Then rather than allowing the Allies to properly allocate their resources, he demanded resources for his troops who were at the time in a less important sector. I think he's an extremely overrated general who, if say in Gotthard Heinrici's situation against the Russians 1944-1945 as they advanced in to Germany wouldn't have stood a chance and would have simply fell apart rather than composing the flexible defence which historically occurred around the Oder.
