Patton was self absorbed and hated by his men, he was humiliated when he was forced to apologise in public for striking a private, MacArthur, would have run away like he did in the Philipines and then blamed others for his mistakes.
Let me say this what would Generaladmirals Lutjens and Schniedwind have accomplished with the carrier battle groups that Halsey and Nimitz had.
Imagine this
Manstein, Rommel, Hoth, Guderian, von Vearst, Kesserling, Stumppf, Vietinghoff, Busch, List, von Leeb, Paulas, Rundstedt and nearly all of the German General Staff of the OKW, OKL, OKH and OKM under the allied command and conducted their military campaings without constant political interference from Roosevelt/Truman, Churchill and Stalin.
No Germany would still lose the war with the above mentioned allied generals because none would dare defy Hitler, if they did they would be either forced to resign or sacked, like Rundstedt over Rostov.
