I compare Patton who succeeded with the 'leastest' but the fastest!
And the Battle of the Bulge is the classic where he was handicapped by the Allied HQs itself!
They say it was done to maintain a parity in the success of the different Allied armies involved!
Patton was a genuine born soldier. Warfighting was in his blood. He went into war even under the command of his junior! Trappings did not concern him. Victory, the fog of war and the smell of cordite alone shot his adrenalin!
Slim was another great! He actually started the win in the East when all had given up hope. He did not get his deserved share of glory. Was it because of the then British class snob discrimination? Many a book give Slim a left handed compliment about his being from the lower middle class background!
