    What he was the best leader of all time, I mean just look how well he prepared everyone for Russian winter or like his skills in handling the invasion of Normandy.

    My Fuhrer there is a massive allied invasion force attacking Normandy, should we send our Panzer Divisions to help?
    No, trust me it's just a diversion.
    Doesn't look like a diversion.
    Are you questioning our Fuhrer?
    No, my Fuhrer.

    My vote for worst general of all time is fucking Arik-boke Khan. The retard couldn't beat an army half his fucking size.

    as
    Ill admit Alexander and Khan deserve to be up there, but as far as I am concerned Caesar wrote all of the know records of his conquests... They could be a bit biased.

    They were biased obviously, but even taking out the exaggeration, his wars in Gaul and how he became dictator should put him on the list.
