Who was a better General?

Well, it was Mackensen commanding a combined force of Austro-Hungarians, Germans and Bulgarians who conquered Serbia.

The various Austrian generals up to that point had failed, even though in theory they had an army six times larger than the Serbian one (there was the small distraction of a Russian army mobilizing to face them!).

Under von Falkenhayn's direction, Mackensen went on to knock Romania out of the war in a brilliant campaign finishing in 1917.

wow thanks clackers. i thought that The Germans only looked after the Austrian Armys in the Italian front and Romanian after the bruslivov offensive.

i initially thought that Austria had a bigger army within its empire (though if your counting the majority of the Slavs who didnt really want to fight the russians and other close-ish related country under Austrian rule, then those numbers wouldnt really surprise me).

Monash for me.
