Then i guess Zhukov was a cabbage, in reality Zhukov was in my humble opinion was one of the best Generals in WW2, indeed if not the best General either Axis or Allied, many of the best generals served in the Soviet Army, they learned by hard fought battles and they copied and bettered the Germans, essentiall fighting the German at their own game, but i have always stated the one main factor of the eventual destruction of the German Army was the direct interference by Hitler right down to Battalion level, this did not occur on the Allies side of things, although Roosevelt/Truman were commanders in chiefs of the US Army they did not interfere what the commander in Europe had planned they just basically rubber stamped operations, same with Churchill, and Stalin as well.

So i say if the roles were reversed the same outcome arises, Zhukov and his ilk would face consistant interference by Hitler, and never knowing where they stood in regards to battle tatics.
