"If you can read this, thank a teacher. If it's English, thank a soldier!"
Rommel
Dont shoot him...... It will just make him angry.
I voted Rommel for obvious reasons.
fly boy:"isnt that the first jet bomber becasue i have flown one in a flight sim before and i know how it handles"
Thanks for adding the others. Didn't know exactly who to add!
"If you can read this, thank a teacher. If it's English, thank a soldier!"
I only added a few more that were prominant people. I am not saying they are the best or not. Some were even tried and put to death in Nurnberg.

No prob - agreed.
I picked Rommel because he seemed to have a very good grasp of not only tank tactics but warfare in general. And most of his downfalls - if you will - were caused by lack of supplies or cooperation with his superiors. From North Africa to Normandy he fought a battle against his boss on the right course of action which in the end he was justified.
"If you can read this, thank a teacher. If it's English, thank a soldier!"
Rommel.

“Let's get Enterprise and Hornet turned into the wind."
Rommel here too, with Guderian right under him.
Actually those were my top 3 - Rommel, Guderian and Kesselring. The first two are obvious but Kesselring I thought fought a good fight in Italy.
"If you can read this, thank a teacher. If it's English, thank a soldier!"
I went for Rommel. I don't know enough about Kesselring or Guderian to have an opinion on them.
"Never was so much owed by so many to so few"- Winston Churchill.
Yes he did Njaco. Actually, I'd completely agree with your top three......in that order.
Rommel, then Guderian with Kesselring in third.
"Success is not Final, Failure is not Fatal, it is the Courage to Continue that Counts"
Sir Winston Churchill

Definitely Rommel and second Guderian as for third I don't have one...
These airplanes we have today are no more than a perfection of a child's toy made of paper."Henri Coanda"
Going with Manstien. Nothing against Rommel, but he famous in the west where Manstien was more of an eastern general. Did a great job too.
Second, I would go with Guderian. In the same run as other Tank generals. Wrote the book on it.
Rommel, Guderian and Smiling Albert. Albert did a good job in Italy, especially for a LW general.
