Patton is certainly important. His "a good plan now is better than a great plan later" comes down to the Army as the One-Third, Two-Thirds time rule, which is largely responsible for every success the Army has had. But he generally had the same advantages in material as Monty.

I didn't put Rommel on the list largely because the didn't fight on the Eastern Front, which I think is the SuperBowl of WWII. Rommel goes in the same category as Dan Marino.
