And yes, I really think he was the smartest out of this bunch....


You have got to be kidding?

btw I got Guderian. I also would rank them Guderian, Patton, Rommel.

Just a little bit. Himmler was also "smart" but maybe too romantic. When I "really" think more about it, I would say the "smartest" was Kammler...

-> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Kammler

PS: Don't mix "morals" with "intelligence". That would be a naive mistake. But at a certain point one has to choose between the two.
What decition to take is a complex matter. Whould it be a help to let one guide of one or the other? The answer is yours...

I didnt, but still dont see Göring as very intelligent. Himmler more so and Kammler for sure.

Erich von Manstein was probably the best general in WWII from a tactical perspective.

Rommel shouldn't even be on the list. Nor should Patton. And that they will teach you at the US Army Armor School.

Not that Patton wasn't important to the Army is different ways. Patton is probably as responsible as anyone for the professionalism of our Army today. A good plan now is better than a great plan tomorrow is passed down to us as the 1/3 2/3 Time Rule which really is the basis for everything the Army does today. Luckily we had Omar Bradley and George Marshall to show us how it is proper to behave.

von Manstein
von Kesselring
von Kluge
von Manteuffel
von Hoth
von Runstedt
von Kleist
von Model
Guderian
Zhukov

If you didn't fight on the Eastern Front you aren't in the running. You're like Dan Marino who never got to play in the Super Bowl.

There are instances, when the "Dorftrottel" [village nincompoop ?] is the only one, who makes the right decition...

George Patton 60%. Where's my flag?

Smaragdadler 07-13-07 12:43 PM

Make shure, that you don`t get killed in an "car accident" with your flag.
By the way, Patton was the one, who conquered "Kammlers realm" in Thuringia...
...and Thuringia was sold to the Russians for West Berlin, (a little bit later - when it was over). "Smart" move...

Patton had balls, he didnt want to sell anyone and wanted to attack the Russians.:hmm:

Smaragdadler 07-13-07 01:17 PM

Patton was "smart" in his own way. Just look at statements from him like the "relation of food for his 'soldiers and their belt' to tanks and their fuels".
... but not "smart" enough "to make a game" with the really big guys...or maybe he had "seen and just knowed too much" for his position... or maybe because he wanted to fight the Russians? When was exactly the time, he came to this conclusion... (he wanted to fight them with the SS, if I remember right...:hmm:)

Do you now understand, why I think Göring was "the smartest"...?

PS: Women have no "balls". Is to have "balls" connected with intelligence...? (AL take over...:))

http://quizfarm.com/images/117363493...n%20Rommel.jpgWhat WW2 general you are?
You scored as a Erwin Rommel
You are the Wusten Fuchs,Rommel the desert fox!

Erwin Rommel

70% Otto Skorzeny
65% Heinz Guderian
50% Georgi Zhukov
30% George Patton
30% Herman Goering
30% Vassily Chuikov
20%
I thought maybe Patton...but... Rommel?

Between Magneto and Rommel ..... I'm really gonna have to do some self searching here.

In the mean time I'll "make my enemies chiting in pants"

And for breakfast I'll take my eggs over easy on the turret of my "Tiger" please.

Winston Churchill wanted to do much the same thing. That's why he wanted Overlord in Greece. To bad they couldn't have gotten together and kicked those heathen atheist Bolsheviks east of the Ural Mountains. :D

Smaragdadler 07-13-07 05:04 PM

I have no problem with "heathens" and "people beyond the ural mountains" and also no proplems with people "before the ural mountains". Shamanism is the oldest religion on earth (ca. 20.000 years - at least and with no garantie for corectness ) and will be even there, when "this world" willl lay in post-nuklear warefare ruins. The rest are just ideologies (from Echnaton-'one g'd-solar-cult till Adolf Hitler and beyond) chaning over time like the weather.:smug:
Me and you and your belief (what ever...) are just peanuts in the history of an unimportent planet...

Heibges 07-13-07 05:08 PM

Sorry, that was from "Patton". :D
