@SuperbattleshipYamato hard to argue against any of this really. The IJN was so far gone by this point in the war that there’s not really much they could have done to salvage their situation one way or another. The bit about the allies not having many LSTs in general is something I never knew before though.

@swordsman3003, I agree that Albert Speer deserved many years in prison, but probably did not deserve to be shot.
And not all nazi leaders deserved the death penalty, but many of the top nazi leaders rightfully deserved to be shot and killed, regardless of if we like it or not. It was a war with extremely many victims, and if you lose a battle like this, this is not like losing a game of A&A or chess…… :roll:
When real people are really killed, that is another ball game from our discussions of sports and games and such.
Even our humanity (human species) is right twice a day… :wink:

For me, its not a question that some nazis deserved to die, but rather which ones should have died. the existence of the trials was a reasonable to discern that, and much more selective than many other regimes would have had it.
I think we’re in a general agreement though.

During and a little after WWII Douglas MacArthur…Until he thought it was a good idea to attack china. After that I think it was in humanities best interest to remove him from power.

Well at least the troops would get fed.

But seriously, I would go with Patton.

I would have to go with Chester Nimitz. He led the US fleet and marines to many victories over the course of world war II

Finally someone agrees with me (if you check my post from the previous page). 8-)
Nimitz played a very important role for the US.

I’d have to go with Moltke.
Amazing man.

Fred G. Sanford
The only person he led was a guy referred to as “dummy”

You left out Shady Graddy, Skillet, Leroy, and Bubba.
Yes i know too much about that show.

I would choose Rommel to lead the ground forces and Chennault of the Flying Tigers to lead the Air Force.

In truth, though, I feel that Napoleon and Alexander the Great are very much underestimated, especially Napoleon.
Read up on Napoleon’s work, especially all that he did for the French people. Imagine the effects he could’ve had if he hadn’t invaded Russia… or if he lived longer…

Hannibal Barca
From WW2: Erich von Manstein and Mannerheim (Finnish marshal who kept Soviets from entering Finland soil and with little loss of Finnish soldiers).

For me…there is only ONE Desert Fox…Field Marshall Erwin Rommel…He attacked like a tornado…where he went…there was only VICTORY…if only Hitler had given him the support he asked for in North Africa…who knows how that campaign would have ended?
