I like how people credit France entirely for the American victory and don't mention Steuben at all

There’s no shame in that. It’s just fact.
Probably Erwin Rommel even though he did decent in africa he got btfo in france so thats why i think he is over rated
QuoteProbably Erwin Rommel even though he did decent in africa he got btfo in france so thats why i think he is over ratedI dont understand why people seem to think rommel was overrated. He did outstandingly well in both campaigns considering the circumstances. The question isn't whether generals lost or won battles or wars, but if they were good. Therefore in my opinion a general who can still maintain a tactical edge on a superior enemy force (africa campaign) and conduct good defensive actions and rear-guard engagements (normandy campaign) should not be said to be overrated. He did well with what he was given, i doubt the same can be said with regards allied generals (not soviets)
Oh hello fellow KoJ veteran
No Patton was arrogant and selfish, pretty much only wanted wins for himself and was absolute shit at cooperating with airpower and other army Generals... American Generals were extremely petty in their feuds amongst themselves... their personal opinion dominated their cooperation and professional mindset towards other allied Generals... Germans had these petty feuds too, but were much more professional about it, especially 3-star and 4-star generals amongst themselves... The germans had the biggest fights with OKW, OKH, OBW, etc etc.
From Rommel himself:“In Tunisia the Americans had to pay a stiff price for their experience, but it brought rich dividends. Even at that time, the American generals showed themselves to be very advanced in their tactical handling of their forces, although we had to wait until the Patton Army in France to see the most astonishing achievements in mobile warfare.”
