For the longest time, Manstein was my favorite general of WW2. As an ex-Wehraboo, I ate up all the BS his memoirs chugged out, but after doing actual research I renounced all love I once had for the German army in WW2 due to fully realizing the horrors they perpetrated during the Second World War. Personally, I don't believe Manstein was the general most media hypes him up to be, and in fact he's the person to blame for the disaster at Stalingrad (Paulus was continuously screeching that the Sixth Army needed to book it, to which Manstein fervently denied), but I just wanted to know this site's thoughts on Manstein's capabilities as a field marshal (his participation in war crimes is a discussion for another day), and please debate and don't start a civil war in this discussion preferably
