You know, ive read a lot of personal stories written by German soldiers. Everyone i read said how they used to make fun of him for being a fat lackey of Hitler, or some other such name, but the ones where they accually got to meet him and talk to him in a relaxed manner, they would agree that he just wanted to talk and be "one of the boys", and they accually ended up liking him or feeling sorry for him, although they couldnt figure out why they felt that way. I always took those comments to mean that old Goering missed the commeraderie and closeness that the frontline boys had and he longed for it very much.

I cant say that i dont agree with you but the luftwaffe would of been better served putting out more poven fighters than wasting time, effort, money and dare i say pilots on projects like the above mentioned ones. Thats the point i was trying to make.

I choose Himmler
He was given command of the troops to the north on the eastern front. Though it was almost to late anyway to win much, he never visited the front and commanded from a rail car.

Anyway, my choice is Busch - commander of Army Group Centre as the Red Army launched 'Bagration'. |

Incidentally, I think Goering gets a bad rap, especially over the Battle of Britain. Had the intel provided to him in 1940 been closer to reality then the whole campaign would have run very differently. As it was the Luftwaffe never stood a proverbial 'bats chance in hell' of attaining air superiority over Southern England.
