Erwin Rommel, seriously fantastic strategist. We would be sooo fucked if there were more like him in the German Army.
Also, Ramon Merkader. Look him up.
I am Russian, yet I hate him with every fibre of my being.

The guy who killed Trotsky. Yeah, that's basically it.
But seeing how I regard Trotsky as a person worse than Stalin and Nikolai The Second combined, I applaud the guy.

Sorry, but, no. I can't agree with you, at all.HerrBobo said:

When I saw the threads name I knew that if I didn't see this name I would have raged.Latinidiot said:

OT: Erwin Rommel
A really amazing maneuverer.
He was also one of those who invented the "Gefecht der verbundenen Waffen" (combined arms).
We could have used more like him.
Oh, but the old asshat Adolf just had to have him killed...
No, I'm sure typhoons during typhoon season must have come as a complete shock to everyone, just like sunrise would be to a night-attack launched at dawn.Commissar Sae said:
Keep in mind they didn't really know it was typhoon season either, being from a land-locked steppe and all. The hurricanes were also unseasonably strong though. They could have taken Japan in that first invasion too, had they not lost so many horses and men to the weather.Tarrok said:
Denis Diderot created the first Encyclopedia together with Jean le Rond d'Alembert in the 1750s. Jean co-founded the initiative but resigned "because he believed mathematics was a more fundamental science then biology"
I had never heard of him before I stumbled upon his name, and I have not found anyone in my direct environment that has ever heard of him. Maybe because Ephraim Chambers would later continue his legacy, working with people like Voltaire and Rousseau.
The Encyclopédie was a pretty important factor in the Enlightenment and also the French Revolution and therefor, was of great influence in the history of the world. I personally think we might not have had modern encyclopedia or perhaps even Wikipedia without Diderot.

J.F.C. Fuller and B.H. Liddell Hart. British advocates of combined mobile warfare between WW1 and WW2. A shame only Germans listened to them.
Dammit! Yes, this man. I didn't think anybody would have mentioned him already. Ah well, at least it saves me the trouble of typing out exactly what he did.Chamale said:
Themistocles- he almost single handedly save Greece, and thus Europe from the Persian invasion of 480BC.
With out this man the history of Europe, and the World, would be very, very diffrent.
Despite this, if you were to bring him up in conversation, most people would answer "Who?"
