They say ‘the times make the man,’ so it’s no surprise that the Second World War made a lot of admirals and generals. In this video, we shed light on a cross section on some of the war’s top commanders.

I think General Richard O’Connor should have a mention his execution of operation compass is pretty jaw dropping
Military general officers are different from political generals. 🙂
If This Was Best Generals In History Video Then I Would Say
1.Alexander The Great
2.Julius Caeser
3.George Washington
4.Genghis Khan
5.Napoleon Bonparte
If Someone Dosent Agree With Me Name Best Generals In History Then ^_^
Marcos not a hero 🦸♀️
General DUTERTE PALPAK is the best ever
That last general was incapable because he was what you would call a political general. He only knew to please the right people, or one person in particular-Josef Stalin. Unfortunately, in this era of political correctness I fear the US has too many generals just like him. I think that is why we had better not get into a war with either Russia or China. Either one will beat our ass. Btw, great channel. I love your work.
George S. Patton Was The Very Best
General Of The All In W W 2 !!!!!
And His Drive Across France In
Operation Cobra And On Across Europe
With 3 rd Army Proves It !!!!!
F. G. D.
Maybe world war 3 will be happen soon only inversion each other countries
Ah yes Rommel just ask those American armor units
Paton, if he were leading today, would lose his career. #KillPC
My father was an enlisted man in the United States Army, my grandfather was a Polish Army officer and I respect Erwin Rommel for his miltary prowess. Also, not turning over POWs of Polish origin that captured while fighting the British in North Africa, for liquidation is a plus.
Erich Von Manstein was a tactical genius not. even mentioned here
You forgot Jacob Devers.
Best generals in the ww2 was German s…
Ah yes Yamamoto with his gold never found in the Philippines
No one can add more stuff and nothing can overthrow something that is popular in history so in a nutshell these or some of these is underrated
Shame, no China 🇹🇼.
The WORST was Gen Stillwell
Yall forgot General Fertig.
The Germans respected and feared Patton!
Generals don’t turn tides of war their men do
As Max Heistings put it, in his ww2 book " Armagedon ", if Zukof or Rommel were the commanding officers of D Day, the anglos would have conquered Berlin in 2 ( two ) months… End of quote…
Most feared general… Erwin Rommel
the most feared tactician … Isoroku Yamamoto
I didn't know Russia and Japan fought in 1939…. And I'm a lifelong history student.
The Allied generals benefited massively from code breakers.

I understand that every country could only have one general, but Germany and the USA could've had some honorable mentions and Dowding's British RAF had insane efficiency especially during the Battle of Britain.
Patton didn't fight in Italy, he did take Messina, in Sicily, not Italy.

If Germany would have had American Production capacity and Russian Population – The world history will be very different.
I know alot about Yamamomo. The one General That over time I have come to put on quite a high level as others on your list that is Rommel. Very good tacticition but lis lack of ability and understanding of logistics, admittedly hampered by his chain of command was that he could not hold what he had taken. He either withdrew as in the Kasserine mountains or was pushed out of Europe.
Had he taken a long look at the Kasserine mountains, he could have seen he could swept around the northern end of the range and been in the US's base and pushed us into the Atlantic. One of Rommel's subordinates tried this but was stopped by a handful of Americans and British who stopped the first assault but due to the timely arrival of an artillery brigade who were being moved, but stopped to lend a hand they would have raised merry hell with the US. Look up the battle of Fallujah. Interestingly enough Fulluja was the scene of an important war in earlier centuries. Sorry Memory fails me as to which one.
Yes – I definitely learnt something new. – Dr. Apu Chowdhury
Best Japanese general?
An admiral.
Yamamoto was absolutely the best in Japan with nagumo….in Germany I would pick either manstein,guderian ,or leeb ….Patton or Mac Arthur from the stats ….Montgomry or Alexander but not slim from Britain ….rokovosky is second to ghukov for sure from USSR …graziany from Italy …
General Bill Slim Shady
Zhukov by the way
I heard that it actually was his chief of staff that coordinated everything.
Of the bunch I would have much preferred to serve under Slim. A strategic and tactical genius. He managed what none of the other generals did. Victory with minimal casualties. He was able to inflict unimaginable hardship to the enemy with the lightest touch. He put his men before his ego.
In JFC Fuller's book "Grant and Lee" he demonstrated how Lee, a great tactician, was not a good strategist and also very poor at setting up his staff work. Grand was good and each. Excellent new film on Rommel starring Ulrich Tukhar. There is a new Russian film series on Zhukhov which I am looking forward to seeing. I have been to Ekaterinburg and saw his impressive statue. Read Slim's book "Defeat into Victory".
