***************************************************
Rommel = Master of Ruse and speed
Manstein = Brilliant strategist (co creator of the sickle blow in France)
Patton = Ballsiest American General since General Robert E Lee.
The various high commands ignored advice from men like Rommel and a few other exceptional generals during the war and none of them lived very long even if they saw the end of the war. Some died under some odd and / or rediculous, circumstances.
