IMHO: Hitler had the most influence on WWII, had he not held back at Dunkirk the Brits would have been finished and what was left of the French command would have been destroyed. The Germans then should have secured the west coast, built up supplies, advanced thier technology, sought out a peace treaty with the US and GB, then turned thier guns on the USSR.
As far as military commanders who had the most infulleunce, the best generals were Gen. George Patton (US 3rd Army), Gen. Bradley, and Erwin Rommel. (Hitler was a fool to not listen to him and a greater fool to have him comit suicide!) Whoever said Montgomery, is as much of a moron as he was. (He (Monty) was almost more of an idiot then de Gaulle!)
Ultimatelly I do believe that the greatest influence in winning WWII has to be the group working on the Manhatten project. For us Americans, the war was not one of simply one theater, winning in one theater did not end the war, in fat many of the troops that were stationed on the european front were in the process of being shipped off to the pacific at the time the bomb was dropped. Dropping the bomb ended the war, andset the stage for history for the next 50 years.
just my opinion....
