Overrated genius or misunderstood hack?

You know you're a hack when your own men nickname you the butcher

Just a hack, he wasn't particualrly misunderstood.

He was a completely overrated hack who couldn't win when presented with an actual opponent.

Was given an army corps for god knows what reason when he was at his best as a division commander

Not either anon, but Monty outmaneuvered Rommel pretty badly at El Alamein, in addition to "outweighing" him. He called right where the armored break would be and had his ATGs right there to shred Rommel's best.

people tend to be promoted to just above their ideal level of competence
think about it, you show success, you get promoted, repeat
you stall at the point you become unsuitable

Genius? No. Smart and skilled tactician, yes. He was certainly a good enough man to have the respect of his enemies, which says a lot.

Overrated? Absolutely. Closet nazi fanatics love him because he was "one of the few good guys" and they love stroking their cocks to the nazis in secrecy.
