Knispel started the war as a gunner and later commanded a tank. Most of his kills as a gunner were achieved with the Panzer IV. He was quite capable of killing the T34 with the short barrel model too.

The best lead from the front commander that Germany had would have to have been Count Hyazinth Strachwitz von Gross-Zauche und Camminetz. Strachwitz fought with his men from 1941 - 45 on the Russian front.

He had a sixth sense when it came to what the enemy was thinking and made them pay most of the time. A commander who leads four tanks into the enemy rear and proceeds to knock out 105 enemy tanks in one hour before driving back to their own lines has no equal. Strachwitz is also my choice as he actually survived the war.
