We matched it in the Depression. The Regina riot in 1935 which prematurely ended the on-to-ottawa trek. A couple dozen shot, including a bunch of ordinary citizens who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time...

That's more like what I wanted to sayOriginally posted by MichaeltheGreat
That the two are even compared is amazing. Guderian went far beyond just armored warfare doctrine to really creating the whole three-dimensional combined arms concept that defines modern heavy warfare. From a doctrinal standpoint, he was the greatest and most successful innovator in warfighting since the development of firearms as standard fighting weapons for the infantry.
Thanks for the elaboration, Michael

Ask Skinny Wainwright and Wendell Fertig. There were the two real generals in the Philippines. (though Fertig was only self-appointed, which led the WPPA to **** his Army career)Originally posted by KrazyHorse

Was Manstein as good as Guderian, I assume people agrre he was better than RommelSpace is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

I doubt it, but I'm no expert (by a longshot) on Manstein. Kesselring deserves at least an honorable mention as well IMO.Originally posted by TheStinger

No possible comparison : Manstein commanded the Armies Group South at the most difficult times which is quite different from a couple divisions. At this level of operational command, Manstein is second to none.Originally posted by TheStinger

Kesselring in defense of a limited front was excellent.Statistical anomaly.
