So its Retirement day for all the military commanders of the
twentieth century.

Who among them could look back with the most satisfaction.
Ike, Yamamoto , Georgei Zhukov

Who would be the top ten nominees?

I for one would nominate General Giap as a good candidate
for a top ten finish, At his retirement party He could look
back on defeating four superior foes in his career, two
colonial powers and two superpowers, Not bad and certainly
worthy of mention on this subject.

Have a go but please read through the thread prior to posting.

Here is the list so far.

Patton
Rommel
Manstein
Boelcke
Donitz
Guderian
Mcarthur
Kesselring
