Jonkheer Alidius Tjarda van Starkenborgh Stachouwer was the last Governor-General of the Dutch East Indes. He ruled by martial law after the German invasion of the Netherlands and presided over the desperate defense against Japan in 1942. 🇳🇱 Image
Lt. Admiral Conrad Helfrich was overall military commander in the Dutch East Indies at the start of WW2. His aggressive tactics earned him the nickname “Ship-a-day Helfrich” as his Dutch O-Boats drew first blood against the Japanese (outperforming the US). 🇳🇱 Image
Rear Admiral Karel Doorman came from a Dutch Catholic family with a long tradition of military service. He commanded Allied forces in the futile Battle of the Java Sea from his cruiser HNLMS De Ruyter, attacking aggressively and choosing to go down with his ship. 🇳🇱 Image

Maj.Gen. Winfield Scott, hero of the US-MX War and a Virginian who stayed with the Union, was senior officer of the USA in 1861 but too infirm to take to the field. He advocated economic war, starving the south into submission with a blockade but Lincoln wanted aggressive action. Image
Maj.Gen. Irvin McDowell led US forces to embarrassing defeat at the 1st battle of Manassas. Pushed to action against his better judgement, his plan was too complicated for his troops. After a second spanking from Beauregard he was sidelined for the duration of the war. Image
Maj.Gen. George B. McClellan was beloved by his soldiers but hated by Lincoln for being too cautious (and a Democrat). Lee thought highly of him, he offered few opportunities to exploit. Never disastrously defeated, Lincoln fires him after he stopped Lee’s invasion of Maryland. Image

The leaders of the three major Confederate armies and senior naval officers. ImageImageImageImage
The senior most field generals of the Confederacy. In order of seniority:
2. A.S. Johnston
3. Lee
4. J.E. Johnston
5. Beauregard Image
Gen. Robert E. Lee of Virginia led the Army of N.Virginia 62-65. The most brilliant soldier the New World has produced. His victories at 2nd Manassas & Chancellorsville being particularly outstanding, he wasn’t *always* right but almost always and certainly never met his match. Image

The ideal King, Arthur did not really die but was only horribly wounded. He was taken away to the legendary island of Avalon to rest and recovery. One day he will return to lead his people against their enemies. Image
Prince Csaba was the youngest son of Attila the Hun. Not only will he return, riding down from the stars, whenever his Hungarian descendants are in danger but he has reportedly already done so several times at moments of great crisis. Image
Kaiser Friedrich Barbarossa didn’t really drown and get pickled while on Crusade. He’s half asleep under the Kyffhäuser mountains and when his beard grows around it or the ravens stop flying (I’ve heard both), he’ll wake up and lead the Germans to victory once more. Image
