There were a number of German generals... List, Goderian, Rommel, etc. And yeah, American generals would agree--after the war and to this very day, the battles on the Eastern Front and the Desert Campaigns are still discussed and debated at the War College in Carlisle, from what I understand.

We still know only the general outline of the battles on the Eastern Front--and most of that from captured Russian documents (mostly from Gehlen's organization) that we later captured from the Germans. For instance, historians just began to examine what was supposedly a battle involving more than a million men, Zhukov vs. Goderian, mano a mano, that no one had even heard of before.

As for the armies... psht... The Hun got his wings clipped but good by the Slavic bastards. They developed a simple system in the last year: they'd mount supply convoys with nothing but ammo and fuel. No clothes, no boots, no food. Anything the Red Army needed, they were told to take from the people they just "liberated" (including apparently a few tens of thousands of German women). Half of 'em were from Siberia and had scarcely handled a working wristwatch before. Nazis vs. Communism, and the better system of totalitarianism won out, I'm sad to say.
