Well you have to say, the idea to attack through the Ardennes was one of the best manoeuvres in history.

That's unfair.

Who can deny Manstein's brilliance in defeating France in 6 weeks? Or his brilliance in the Siege of Sevastopol and stopping Zhukov's onslaught after Stalingrad against all odds? Time and time again the Germans should have been decimated, and time and time again they weren't because of Manstein.

Is that really the Generals fault though, considering the inferior situation Germany was in (ressources, industry, manpower)?
