And there's Adolf Hitler of course. Worst military leader in history, but too many blunders to mention here. First... Adolf Hitler wasn't a "general"... Sure he made some mistakes But, I won't say that he was the " worst military leader in history"... Many historians think his Army was close to being able to take over the world... and if they had created the atomic bomb, first, we would all be speaking German right now! What other Army has ever came so close? OK, he didn't have the rank of General. Neither did Frederick the Great or Gustavus Adolphus. But he was the overall commander and did make all the key decisions. And, the more Hitler had his hands on a military decision, the worse it turned out. Dunkirk, Stalingrad, Kursk, Normandy etc, etc, etc. Nazi Germany did come close, despite Hitler. It had superior armaments, superior men and superior battlefield generals. If Hitler had kept out of major battlefield decisions, the war might have turned out differently. The Nazi came close due to Kesselring, Manstein, Guderian, Model, Rommel. The Panzer IV, V and VI, The 88's. The panzerschreck and panzerfaust. And as far as the bomb, we would have had one too. And Germany could never get one to the US. Moscow and London might have been obliterated, but never NY and Washington. And Germany would have been a parking lot. |
