Craig, Patton was certainly a gutsy commander whom many believed America's best, but if we take the word of the man himself:

"Top U.S. tank commander in the war
Lt. Col. Creighton Abrams, American, World War II
I’m supposed to be the best tank commander in the Army,” Patton once said, “but I have one peer—Abe Abrams.” Leading the 37th Tank Battalion from the front, Abrams and the crew of his own M4 Sherman tank, Thunderbolt, are estimated to have destroyed about 50 German armored fighting vehicles."

For strategic and fighting prowess the Germans were peerless.
