<HTML>Bit of an odd question, really. Most succesful \'chief\'?
Hard to compare the different commanders/generals, even in the same army. Rommel was a very succesful and cunning field leader and who knows, if he\'d had the same resources as the allies, he might have even won the Africa campaign.
In the east, the Germans made incredible progress towards Moscow and would likely have effectively beat the USSR by the end of 1943, if it weren\'t for bad weather gear and an army unprepared for the circumstances. Von Paulus was destined to lose, but who knows how someone else would have done in his place?
Dönitz was really the only Groß Admiral. Who can we compare him to? How do we define success? He never achieved his own desired goals (tonnage sunk), but seems to have done a hell of a job with the limited resources he had.</HTML>
