Neither. Both are meme generals.
Rommel only has such a good rep because he wasn't an ebul Nazi. Generals like Manstein were far better,

>>2738030
SLIM

>get assigned to a third-rate front reeling from the fact your predecessors were fucking idiots
>fucking trash the shit out of the japs and blitzkrieg their asses with Lees

>>2738030
Rokossovsky

>>2738030
Fuck OP.
Guderian or Manstein /his/?

>>2740046
Rokossovsky

but out of those probably Guderian since he stood up to Hitler while Manstein failed to save the 6th army and blamed others while telling freinds of how his dog had been trained to do that Nazi joke as an insult to Hitler. But never said shit to his face and refused to participate in any assassinations of Hitler

This is the correct answer.

>>2740046
Kesselring

>>2740070
Fair answer, what can you tell me about your leader?

>>2740258
Was caught up in the great purge and brutally tortured for years, never broke or confessed, eventually released in 1940 due to lack of experienced officers. Rose from being a prisoner accused of treason to Marshal of the Soviet Union.

Dring the planning in 1944 of Operation Bagration, Rokossovsky disagreed with Stalin, who demanded in accordance with Soviet war practice a single break-through of the German frontline. Rokossovsky held firm in his argument for two points of break-through. Stalin ordered Rokossovsky to "go and think it over" three times, but every time he returned and gave the same answer "two break-throughs, comrade Stalin, two break-throughs". After the third time Stalin remained silent, but walked over to Rokossovsky and put a hand on his shoulder. A tense moment followed as the whole room waited for Stalin to rip the epaulette from Rokossovsky's shoulder; instead, Stalin said "Your confidence speaks for your sound judgement", and ordered the attack to go forward according to Rokossovsky's plan.

Was the commander of the Central Front at Kursk. Commanded over 1 million men during bagration which annihilated army group center and actualized "deep battle"

>>2740307
Imo better than any other Allied commander and certainly top 5 up there with Manstein, Guderian and other great Russian generals. All American highly ranked commanders like Patton and MacArthur are overrated memes, Omar Bradley was pretty good though. Slim was the best UK general. Should also mention Rokossovsky had 7 order of Lenin's (more then Zhukov)

>>2740307
Highly interesting. Guess I should stop overlooking Russia.
>>2740344
Don't forget Montgomery as a meme general, perhaps as shit tier like Rommel.

>>2740352
Montgomery's head became so large after his victories that it could have been put on mount Rushmore. Yeah most of the best generals were Russian or German because that's where something like 90% of the fighting or at least dying happened. Hard to give too much credit to generals like Patton who had fresh troops and were very well supplied fighting the demoralised dregs of the Nazi army. Nikolai Vatutin was another great Russian general. It's somewhat tragic in today's age that the average person thinks that Patton, MacArthur and Rommel were the best generals of the war.

>>2740046
Guderian. The man was instrumental to Germany's military successes and he knew it.

>>2740365
Are you American? I recall that in High School McArthur, Patton, and Rommel had their own lectures. They never spoke of the other generals, a shame indeed

>>2740394
Australia but those are the only generals the public knows about.

>let's have the panzers race towards the heart of the soviet union as fast as possible!
>but we can't supply that shit
>lol its cool they will be supplied from the air, it is extremely reliable and a tried and true tactic!
what a great general
