Trump versus Clinton?
RE: Trump versus Clinton?
So do you think Hillary will be able to conquer Iran? She wants to do it free of charge for Israel. At least Trump would make the Israelis pay for it.

There were a lot of reasons for that - some were even militarily viable.  Also Goering's boasting about the Liftwaffe's capabilities entered into it.

I think we should clone Hitler and let him run for president. He would be a better choice than Hillary.

A newborn baby is a better choice than Hillary.

Trump would go down in history as one of the greatest Presidents ever.

I suspect he'd go down as the last president ever.

Can't y'all just give him a chance? You might be judging him wrong.

Quote:Hitler used tactics other people had used successfully.

Funny that the Western Allies failed to see that.  No.  Give Hitler his due.  He weeded out the old Prussian war horses and let the younger officers (Guderian, Rommel and, perhaps most of all Von Manstein) who had impressed him with their ideas have their head.  Manstein's initial plan for Fall Gelb was rejected by the staff officers but Hitler backed it. 

Napoleon did not develop the tactics that La Grande Armee used either... but he used them to their utmost.

Abaris has already replied, but in context it seemed to me that his reference was to political and not military tactics.

You're right in the sense that Hitler detested much of the officer corps for their noble background, and was happy to support dark horses in high spots. Hitler was not, however, a big fan of Rommel's, given the latter's willingness to trade space for time, which is why he kept von Rundstedt in charge in France over Rommel in 1944, and compromised on their mutually-exclusive suggestions for panzer-division deployment -- thankfully for the Allied cause.

And eventually all three that you mentioned, and others as well, fell afoul of Hitler's wrath and were sacked -- or in Rommel's case, killed for involvement in the attentat.
