[big bad fab]

Time for a big fight:

Rommel

His heroïc image was used a lot by the regime and he didn't refuse it.
Plus, Manstein (who was worse than him politically and morally, I acknowledge it) was a better soldier, militarily and strategically speaking.
Therefore Rommel just before Manstein.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

All right, have a fun.

Rommel

[Hans-im-Glück]

Wilhelm Ritter von Leeb

[big bad fab]

It's really a big fight between the last 4, even in my own mind, because

Witzleben is the better one, morally speaking, but not a great soldier
von Leeb is a pretty "good" one and an acceptable soldier
Rommel is too obvious a winner but is a good soldier
Manstein is the best soldier but was bad in the Eastern Front

[Edu]

Erich von Lewinski von Manstein

[Nhoj]

Wilhelm Ritter von Leeb

[RodPresident]

Von Leeb. He wasn't a great strategist, a great anti-nazi or a ambitious hero.

I'm a bit sad, because I wanted von Leeb to be a surprising third.

Anyway,

Rommel again.

Witzleben and Manstein, for VERY different reasons, are better than overvalued Rommel.

[Edu]

Erich von Lewinski von Manstein

[Hans-im-Glück]

It's very hard for me now.

Manstein or Rommel? hmmmmmmmmm

I say Rommel

[big bad fab]

Yay, the big one is out !
Those who predicted a Rommel's victory were wrong !
Of course, Manstein is in the final round, which may be seen as outrageous...

Not afraid of being seen as an evil guy, I vote to

eliminate Witzleben...

Of course, my vote is only a "military" one.

(it's an hypocritical vote, as I know Witzleben will win)

EDIT: of course, as I haven't put a rule preventing me from changing my vote, I'll be able to do it, if need be if you see what I mean !

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

Eliminate Witzleben 

[Edu]

Erich von Lewinski von Manstein

[Nhoj]

Eliminate Witzleben 

[Hans-im-Glück]

Eliminate von Manstein

Erwin von Witzleben must win. He was a very important Man in the Stauffenberg assassination attempt to Hitler

[Tetro Kornbluth]

Manstein can't win this. So I vote in this again... eliminate Manstein.

[big bad fab]

Manstein can't win this. So I vote in this again... eliminate Manstein.

Thank you, Gully.
But, don't worry, I would have changed my vote

[Hash]

Eliminate von Manstein
