The World's WORST Generals in History

[Digger Walters]

Well that's just a lie. I don't have the figures on hand, but it was more than 80 tons that they received and was clearly only in the very last days of the encirclement when tonnage dropped that low. Also, one has to consider that were it not for the heroic sacrifice of Sixth Army at Stalingrad, the Germans may not have been able to recover from the disaster. Manstein was able to stabilise the front during the early months of 1943 but if Sixth Army and Operation Winter Storm hadn't been launched which sapped at the Russian strength in the area then things could have ended up a lot worse.

Actually thats true the average was 85 long tonnes per day with the highest being 260 odd tonnes with most of it being captured by the Russians and a large amount of it not required e.g. Vodka and summer uniforms... Sorry Ikeni he's right

Hyperbole. Hitler didn't manage forces down to battalion level, that would just be absurd and would have made the entire command structure redundant. Also, that goes entirely against German military doctrine.

Well quite frankly he commanded individual Battalions like Skorzeny's (before it enlarged) and it may go against the doctrine but it did happen and not just him every one has done it still continues to do and will in future do it thats the way it goes sometimes....

Just thought I'd clear a few bits up...
