The real debate was who would be better: Patton or Rommel, since this time they both would be drawing from the same logistical tail and sharing the same air cover.
A later version of the thread joked that the two of them running in the same tank country would be called the "Great Tank Race." My money is on Rommel.

my money is on Patton too. after all the only time he lost was against a bunch of kids in West Virginia. Rommel was too old to best Patton.
