Why is Rommel so much more famous than von Manstein when von

Same reason why George Washington is known as the superior General when in reality if it wasn't for a certain Prussian General who essentially built the American Army, they wouldn't have won the Revolutionary War.

Because George Washington took his own life after being implicated in a plot to kill Hitler?

Why are Rommel & Mannstein so much more famous than Balck when Balck was clearly the superior General?

>>2824232
More like because the victors write history, and the victors didn't care about von Manstein.

>>2824233
Because Balck spent most of his career as a divisional commander, and there are literally thousands of divisional commanders in WW2, most of whom never got noticed, no matter how able they were.

>>2824233
Who gives a fuck about some division commander.

Reminder that Rommel never won a campaign in which he was in command of.

Literally not an argument, Phyruss lost his campaign as well, so did Sertorius.

muh honor
muh no war crimes

>>2824182
He was scared of Hitler and a huge bitch.

>>2824215
a lot of americans with basic understanding of history know of that "prussian guy" but forget his name.

Because brits made a big deal out of him to excuse why they got bitchslapped in Africa.

>>2824239
Literally the exact opposite is true. Manstein basically authored his own legacy

I do recall we learned about that Prussian guy in MUH AMERICAN EDUCATION

>>2824182
Because the allies hyped him up to no end, calling him a literal god of the battlefield, to explain there own failures and especially to create the narrative of honorable nazis, fearing that otherwise the hate for germans in their nations would complicate the plans for rearming the germans in the future, as a measure of defense against Stalin.
