Omar Bradley (1893-1981) In the Battle of Budge, the Germans fought back, and Bradley stops the advance. He also led the first army at the Battle of the Bull, and liberated Paris. George Patton (1885-1945) The Goal of Operation Torch: *Take back North Africa Patton was the best tank commander that the Allies had. ___________________________________ I believe Dwight Eisenhower had the most influence on the outcome of WWII because he was the Supreme Allied Commander which meant he was running practically every move and decision that was made.
