So... Rommel, Patton, Montgomery, Zhukov, Eisenhower, Von Manstein, Slim, Konev. There, two generals for each of the majors. Thats a list of the most famous (in my opinion) (i said most famous not "best") generals of ww2. So random thoughts and here's the challenge. How can we get the 8 of them to be seen as incompetent/failtastic (or pretty close to the bottom) generals of their respective armies in ww2. But there is a catch, they all have to become famous in some way and achive some degree of success at some point in their career to make them famous (it makes the fail part funnier), and it all has to happen in the same tl, so take butterflies into account. And no using the propaganda machine to influnce people into thinking that they suck, thats called cheating the contest.
Plus any idea who would replace them as the nations posterboy general?
