Of course he was not. I agree....Operation Barbossa and Operation Citadel were carried out under the command of a mediocre military mind.

I was also replying to that poster's comment that Hitler and Alexander did not go searching for resources.

Power is a resource - above all, hitler was out for power. In my mind, it still comes down to a war for resources.

Thank G_D he was so bad at it.

Hi... "that poster" here.

Okay, I'll grant that these guys sought resources in the course of their military adventures. However, I maintain that the quest for resources was not the primary motivator for their adventures. Empire was (plus revenge, in Hitler's case).
