Stilwell is named in the final paragraph. Colonel Lloyd Fredenhall, the last named, will be replaced by Patton after the fiasco at Kasserine Pass.

Of all the generals named, only Fredendall and Stillwell played a significant role in the war. As you noted, Fredendall’s role was brief, and significant only in that he showed that peacetime merit didn’t always translate well into combat effectiveness.

Stilwell was the other.

The other guys? Never heard of them.
