Manstein became an informal advisor to NATO after the war.<br>He was seen as virtuous, having been sacked by the amateur painter.<br>He was a smart and innovative commander whose tactics were imitated in NATO wargames.

What unfair fight are you talking about? It was superior tactics by Manstein. Give credit where it is due.
