Question

George S. Patton ,,Rommel ,Monty who s the best ?

Answer 1

Rommel was the best he was loved by all of his troops not just some but all. He kept the Allies at bay in North Africa with the Afrika Korps which was made up of Regular Wherimacht Infantry and Italians, he used no SS. Then he held back the Allies for a long time in France, then was in on the plot to kill Hitler. Patton was good but was not one of the most loved Generals, you will hear that he is the best because of movies and propaganda. Monty sucks *** he was the worst of all have you ever heard of Operation Market Garden where he screwed up so bad as a result loosing tons of American British and Polish paratroops. So Rommel kicks all there butts.

Answer 2

Rommel - a dashing and daring general who worked only in the moment. He cared nothing for Logistics and paid them little thought then constantly called for reinforcements and more supplies when he over-ran the supply lines that his quartermaster and his superior had warned not to. He had only one major strategical goal, capturing Egypt and opening the way to the middle east, but failed to factor in the logistical problems that would come about as he tried to accomplish his goals.

Patton - a dashing and daring general who cared nothing for anything that went on outside his own army. He disregarded overall strategy and logistical situations in favor of his one army, which would be all well and good if he was the Principal commander in the theater but he wasn't. He had one of the best PR machines of all the Allied generals and that, coupled with his often outspoken views, contributed to the discord in the Allied forces just as much as Montgomery's arrogance or Bradley's pettiness did.

Montgomery - a methodical and calculating general who never did anything without being 70% certain of victory. He realized his advantages over his enemy and used those advantages to get victory. An arrogant man who made far more enemies than he ever really knew about, sometimes just because he was arrogant and right when they were wrong.

Rommel was exceedingly good tactically but poor strategically and terrible logistically.

Patton was good Tactically and good strategically and logistically when he wanted to be but all too often he allowed his own ego to get in the way of what was militarilly sound.

Monty was very good Logistically, good strategically and average tactically but because he was arrogant about his own abilities and promoted only what he believed to be militarilly sound (ideas that often contradicted the American idea of war) he made many many enemies, chief amoung whom were Bradley and Patton.

Montgomery was the only general never forced to retreat when in command of an army and became arrogant because of it, Rommel showed tactical brilliance but only once managed to achieve an overall objective (early in the war) and Patton went gallavanting off on his own quest for glory in europe while ignoring the needs of the whole allied offensive in, I'll admit, an impressive campaign.

Rommel failed in two crucial areas, strategy and logistics, to be the best of the three, Patton cannot be the best of the three because he fails in those same areas but mainly through egomania than lack of talent and Montgomery, while arrogant, excelled in logistics was good in strategy but a lesser general than the other two in tactics but overall he was a better general.

Answer 3

1. Patton

2. Rommel

3. Montgomery

Montgomery is in fact one of the great frauds of military history.  His one single achievment of World War II, the victory at El Alamein, was blown out of proportion by the British propagandists. That victory was achieved because A.) He outnumbered Rommel's Afrika Korps forces by a nearly 3-1 margin and B.) he launched his attack after Allied forces landed in North Africa, thereby weakening Rommel even further.

His offenses stalled in Sicily, while Patton wheeled around the British fronts and encircled the Germans before they could make a full retreat off the island.

In Normandy and beyond, his timidness basically prolonged the war because of his reluctance to fight without having overwhelming superiority. Instead of working toward the final goal of winning the war as soon as possible, he concentrated his efforts on becoming supreme land commander, wasting valuable time and resources on feeding his ego.

Answer 4

hello

in their own right, all three generals were good leaders,

montgomery beat rommel in combat

(Battle of El Alamein)

rommel beat patton

(Battle of the Kasserine Pass)

rommel never beat montgomery

so if we used simple logic , irrespective of manpower etc, montgomery was a more successful general

Rommel and Patton both had the ability to be aggressive and win battles despite the odds, but they lacked the foresight to be able to hold onto their gains/victories as a result of low priority attached to logistics (resupply etc)

Montgomery was not as aggressive as Rommel/Patton, and admittedly only attacked if he was certain he would win, but what set him aside is his organisational skill ... he ensure that there were sufficient supplies to maintain advances ,and hold onto won ground

Montgomery was a complex person,though far from flawless, he was a great and successful general through hard work, a refusal to conform to dead tradition, and an open, clear and alert mind. He was a humane man and was capable of inspiring great loyalty among his staff and his troops. Montgomery believed that in the 20th century it was essential to explain to troops why they were fighting and that orders and plans must be clear. He therefore tended to appeal more to the common soldiers under his command than to many of the officers who had more direct dealings with him.

Rommel has been hailed as a brilliant tactician and competent strategist, and is thought by many to have been the most skilled commander of desert warfare in World War II.An enduring legacy of Rommel's character is that he is also considered to be a chivalrous and humane military officer in contrast with many other figures of n**i Germany. However he is often regarded as being rash in his decisions, with aggressive attacks that cost too many lives, and resulted in offensives,grinding to a halt. However his aggressiveness often resulted in far larger forces surrendering to him. Rommels post war reputation is enhanced by the fact that he was forced to commit suicide after allegedly plotting against Hitler.

Patton was a great advocate of tank warefare, is regarded as one of the most successful United States field commanders of any war. He continually strove to train his troops to the highest standard of excellence, and requested black african american troops as he rated ability over colour, so in that sense he was liberal.
