not enough british and american commanders? well statistically they were not so good as those on the list? but give a few and I see if I should add them.

Its not that, its that i only have some general knowledge of WWII, which doesnt include much about specific commanders

Macrthut! Well if you want him although I don't think he did anything special.

Market Garden isn't a very good example, that was largely a failure

Although Eisenhower is probably best known for his planning of D-Day, which I'm sure no one is going to argue was a failure

were the hell is patton

Meyer · « **Reply #14 on:** October 16, 2007, 12:39:10 AM »

he didn't do anything special. everyone else on that list did. and Market Garden was Montys plan, not Eisenhowers. but if you want Patton I put him in. And if you don't know many of those your history knowledge is quite weak.

1) That depends on your definition of "modern".

2) I doubt all the "best" leaders were in the military.

Meyer · « **Reply #16 on:** October 16, 2007, 05:32:11 AM »

1) modern=1900-present
2) by leaders I ment military commanders but leaders is shorter.

and as with Raptor these are my options where to choose. list contains: 1 finn 4 germans 1 british 2 american 1 japanese and 2 russians

Slornie · « **Reply #17 on:** October 16, 2007, 08:32:02 AM »

So all the best military commanders of the last 100 years were in WWII?

Meyer · « **Reply #18 on:** October 16, 2007, 08:38:41 AM »

well that's the topic. Military commander in WWII. I know I forgot the s but if that's the topic you think I give options like Saladin or Caesar?

Heil Hitler, Muil Mussolini, Meil Kosola!

Slornie · « **Reply #19 on:** October 16, 2007, 08:46:38 AM »

I know what the topic is, im just arguing with you saying that those few up there ^ are the best of the past 100 years

Poll

Who was the best?
