Yes but in north Africa Rommel could not wait for anything as he was constantly promised supplies that never reached him and so on :p but what he did have he made a huge deal out of, but yes i can see what you mean he was impatient.

About Rommel why couldn't he have done like we did with the Italians? 30,000 British with enough supplies for 3 days versus 250,000 Italians with plenty of supplies. What happened? We fought them all the way back to Tripoli using their own supplies and vehicles at least until it went messy at the Greece thing.

Who was the best commander in WWII?

Without a doubt General Erhard Raus

Possibly the most overlooked & underrated Panzer Commander of WWII

Zhukov, that's simple. Because he's the winner and he's the one who captured Berlin and did it with lower casualties than the enemy (which is almost impossible to make). End of story.

Well De Gaulle did pioneer Blitzkrieg-like doctrine just no one listened as the French High Command were effectively a retirement home.

Impossible? Well, you can shell and bomb every cm of Berlin and you have victory in a box. When your enemy is surrounded it's just easy.


I'd say the Desert Fox here.

Imo, capturing of Berlin was poor planned. Red army have only 2,5 times more soldiers. There must be 3 million soldiers to capture city like Berlin with 1000000 solders defending it

I spoke not about Berlin :) Я вообще говорил :) Не зря же он свое звание и почести получил. Not in vain he has got his rank and honours in the USSR.

Oh, its simple. defending soldier kills 1 attacker, then wound the second one, but 3rd attacker kills him.

Hmm, i guess. That's pretty simple though, and doesn't take a lot of things into account.
