re: Rommel Vs Patton

I often wonder had Lee listened to Longstreet at Gettysburg and outflanked the Federals instead of throwing away men in attacks that could not possibly succeed what might have been.

Pickett's Charge had NO chance. Day 2 to me was the high water mark of the Confederacy when General Barksdale's Mississippians overran Dan Sickles and nearly split the Union Army in two. But even this attack was poorly coordinated and not enough men were thrown in to begin with. Had Pickett's division been present things might have been different.
