Definitely. Although he was a veteran, in my book hitler was more of a political leader than a military commander, albeit one who didn't hesitate to kibitz military strategy (based on his vast experience as a corporal).

Of the few commander examples that I mentioned earlier some were political leaders too but they were also generals who led their armies and fleets into battle and to me that's the criterion for choosing greatest military commanders.
