Vatutin vs Manstein - who was the best general?

Nikolai Vatutin and Erich von Manstein faced off in several battles during the Second World War, and one of my Patreons has asked if Vatutin was the best Soviet tank general? In this video, we'll take a look at Vatutin's role on the Axis-Soviet Front and see if we can determine how good a general he was.

ABOUT TIK 📝

History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.

This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.
