Guderian?
Thomas Ross
Charles Roberts
Yes.
Luis Taylor
General Patton
Robert E. Lee
George Washington
Joseph Phillips
Big Black Sobieski and Żółkiewski
Austin Diaz
Dunno Vazov prob. when it comes to defending and sieging fortifications
James Brooks
Isaac Brock
Jace Morris
Guderian was a corps level commander. He did not oversee the Battle of France in its entirety.
Landon Anderson
The Duke of Wellington
Carter Price
I heard about Sobieski he must have been a beast
Luis Baker
Then who was it?
Logan Roberts
George Washington was a shit general but an amazing leader.
Dominic Bennett
He was 100% British wtf
Wyatt Johnson
de la rey
en.wikipedia.org
Isaac Williams
Nicholas Cooper
What about Prince Eugen von Savoy? He was more french, I think, but we pretty much adopted him and even named our battleships after him
Aiden Phillips
youtube.com
also when every we drink we listen to this song about him fighting the british.
Logan Ortiz
>traitor
>best
Jace Hall
General Papagos
Gabriel Peterson
Hard to give credit to any one person becuase the German Army had such a developed staff system it was truly a group effort. Wars are administered not fought.
Joshua Lopez
Maybe not the best and most important, but he sure did good.
Anthony Gomez
Still the best
Ryder Rodriguez
Thats nice man
Luis Green
Jan Karol Chodkiewicz, one of the best polish Hetmans
Gavin Robinson
Thank you.
Justin Nguyen
Yeah the used what is called the scorched earth policy . Where they would stick the women and a children into concentration camps and burn the farms down while the men were off fighting. Very interesting war the Anglo boer war.
Julian Parker
No one of them won the war, so you could also say they where all bad.
Ok Paulus was very good at tactics, hitler said about him:"with paulus you could conquer the heaven"
Nathaniel Smith
Joseph Allen
One of the most based, at least.
Cooper Smith
In Germany you dont learn anything about such wars, but it sounds very interesting i will read about this.
Mason Ramirez
Bismarck was not a general. At least post the actual military mastermind.
Colton Torres
Stonewall Jackson.
Repeatedly defeated an army 10 times his size. The Shenandoah Valley campaign was pure genious. Had he survived Gettysburg would have been a Confederate victory.
Tactics still studied today in military schools around the globe.
Isaac Howard
>Ok Paulus was very good at tactics, hitler said about him:"with paulus you could conquer the heaven"
Then why did he lose?
Joseph Davis
Cáceres. The Andean witch.
Charles Foster
How far away in time?
If we are counting the best of all time, Gaius Iulius Caesar is absolutely without peer.
In the modern era, I'd say Raimondo Montecuccoli is a good candidate, with Eugenio of Savoy a close second.
Post unification Italy had three great generals: Garibaldi, Caviglia and Messe.
Jack Ward
Stonewall Jackson was as good as Patton, possibly better. And Lee was good but nothing on Jackson.
Jackson Lee
Russians
Jaxson King
Thats Moltke, right. Know him from the Bismarck film.
Samuel Walker
Easy.
Mannerheimin. SWEDISH speaking Finn who served in Russian army. When reds revolted he returned to Finland and booted out the commies. Then he fought Russia to a standstill in the winter war. In the continuation war he managed to save Finland from being fucked at the end. Without him Finland probably would not exist.
Mason Jenkins
Geronimo
Jacob Campbell
Didn't Caesar admire Alexander the Great, though?
Jose Taylor
why did they call him witch??
Samuel Miller
It will be worth the read trust me.
Isaac Ward
Caesar was not a fucking wog you stupid spaghettinigger.
Asher Adams
MacArthur was genuinely fucking based, madlad almost nuked Korea once IIRC
Anyway, heres ours
en.wikipedia.org
Adam Lewis
If he liked getting raped by old philosophers, then yes
Elijah Gomez
Just listened to a podcast about his death. Pretty tragic. The troops who shot him felt awful.
Jacob Smith
General Butt Naked!
Dylan Garcia
Maybe he also had a retinue of virgins?
Austin Stewart
Helmut von Molke?
Easton Watson
so are all canadians and NewZealanders and Aussies as well
Gavin Perez
Even Hitler listened to him, because of his respect for Mannerheim
Brody Brooks
Holy fuck. Macarthur was a bonifida mad man.
Grayson Brooks
General Mosquito??
Levi Wood
this boy contributed to the submarine exploration of the Royal Navy
Justin Thompson
That isn't saying much, or was that the intent of post? I'm bad with sarcasm
Joseph Gonzalez
>Just listened to a podcast about his death.
Link?
Cameron Jones
kek
Dominic Barnes
Lmao. But, but germans did warcrimes.
Owen Perry
the funny thing is, that this general is real and still alive.
Bentley Harris
Brayden Williams
Royal Navy 1
Beluga Whale 1000
Luke Flores
Mannerhim told hitler, he would not fight too deep into russia and hitler accepted it without any consequence
Austin Thomas
Don't forget Pulaski
Colton Price
Gustav II Adolf
Luis Scott
Luis Price
"Pay the price of victory in shells—not lives"
Juan Turner
This one is cool
Luis Nguyen
von Manstein
Eli Russell
Are you saying Alexander the Great is overrated? Admired by Caesar. Come on.
Jaxon Bailey
Oh the irony
Joshua Gonzalez
civilwarpodcast.org
Quite detailed history of American civil war. On episode 280 and only about 2 thirds through.
Jaxon Richardson
Gavin Barnes
The guy who never traited hitler
Julian Collins
If his enemies had the same warfare as he, ok. He is basically admired for shooting people at a knife fight.
Liam Roberts
Karl Lennart Oesch, the savior of Finland. After the initial breakthrough of the Soviet grand offensive in June 1944, he was given overall command over the Finnish forces in the Karelian Isthmus. He then managed to stop the main thrust of the Soviet offensive at the VKT-line which secured Finnish independence in the peace negotiations.
Levi Diaz
at least he was a very economical guy
Brayden Wilson
Currie was an excellent general. Possibly could have matched Haig.
Lincoln Jackson
IT'S ISONZO TIME!
Jordan Edwards
thats still one of the most fascinating things i have ever heard, like david vs goliath
Ian Morgan
Miltiades
Lucas Flores
he was greek tho
Lincoln Gonzalez
This
Owen Gomez
He won a battle using llamas as soldiers.
Jonathan Gomez
He was GAYREEK.
Christopher Roberts
Θα διαφωνήσω.
Alexander Campbell
Probably Winfield Scott. His strategy utterly trounced the superior numbers of the Mexican Army in the war with Mexico and turned what could have been a protracted conflict into a two year war and a resounding victory for the US.
Later in the Civil War he devised the Anaconda strategy of embargoing the Confederacy and starving it of supplies which is what ultimately won the war for the North. He was also offered the job of commander of the Army by Lincoln but he resigned in protest because Lincoln wanted to take the war to the Confederacy rather than letting the Anaconda policy work, a move which Scott believed was a pointless waste of lives, considering the 670,000 people killed in the war I think he was right.
Liam Scott
No
He was Alexander of macedon, not alexander of greece
Robert Bell
Awesome
Julian Perry
We spent a lot of blood to hold, but it was well spent. Lappeenranta graveyard is filled with men from that battle.
Bentley Hughes
Charles Diaz
Washington was a pretty good General, he just wasn't a great General. Benedict Arnold was ironically the best General we had during the American Revolution but he never got the recognition he deserved and since he was a vain and power hungry SOB he turned on us.
Liam Davis
lmao.
Nathan Hernandez
Or did he?
Ryder Walker
Macedon was an ancient Greek kingdom.
Alexander participated in the Ancient Olympic Games.
Philip and Alexander spoke Greek and Alexander popularized the Kone Greek language in his empire.
Gabriel Perry
Harold Godwinson
>but he lost!!
Pure fluke, the fact that it was so even a fight is testament enough to what a fucking legend he was. Crying shame that the faked rout of the Normans was so successful. Elsewise we'd be living in a very different and objectively better world.
Aaron Jenkins
Post the best sultan from Catalonia
Gabriel Wilson
How can you not love Blucher. The guy was fucking ancient at Waterloo. He saved Wellingtons arse and helped end the Napoleonic wars.
