Monty?? - What were his accomplishments not more attributable to Enigma than to his capabilities?
Nor do I see any real genius in Schwartzkopf. Seems rather ordinary to me.
Now, Franks, I think, ranks right up there near the top.
However, not being a military analyst, I'm open to being educated.
Monty's defeat of Rommel was nothing short of brilliant, although I have to reconsider him as part of the "Greatest" list.
Schwartzkopfs envelopment and distruction of a large modern army in such a short time will go down in history as one of the greatest military actions of all time; comparable to D-Day, Shermans March, etc.
Franks, while I respect him tremendously, fought two pi$$-ant enemies with overwhelming force. A 15 year old paintball-battle-fighter could have done as well.
