Who was the greatest strategic genius?

[CZ]

Gentlemen,

another poll (to come over the summer ...):

Who was the greatest strategic genius during the whole 40s in the Soviet Union among the marshalls, generals and admirals?

The question is only about S T R A T E G Y and not about rudeness, brutality, sacrificing RA-soldiers ....

The period goes from 1940 to 1949.

If anyone should be somehow uncertain about his decision, please send an e-mail to US-Colonel Prof. David M. Glantz: rzhev@aol.com , he knows, who was the greatest strategic genius at this certain time in the Soviet Union.

Most of the 10 heros listed above have the "Order of Victory" (3 of them twice ...) or are at least HSUs.

Best regards
