Guderian have much more impact on War for his theories than for his skill as tactician or strategist: he is and adequate General but not so good for a 9. Also Runstedt appear overstimated. The lack of mention of Student is an error, and i agree with Abwehr. Model and Manstein deserves a 10. Reichenau and Brauchtisch again is overstimated. Heinrici is a true disaster (5 for me). Kluge deserve an 7. Paulus an 4. Himmler(who have a military role only in late 1944) is one of the worst in military history: 0 is more effective. And Hitler? This is greatest problem...Any opinion on Hitler military capacity?
Heinrici was a very competent defender.
