Most Overrated Military Commander?
Napoleon? Alexander? Rommel? Who gets way more credit than they deserve for their "genius"?

Napoleon is actually underrated if anything.

But otherwise yeah, Alexander, Rommel (any German general in ww2 is heavily overrated), Lee, Wellington, basically anyone who built a cult of personality around them.

Underrated: Rokossovsky, Prince Eugene
