Greatest WWII Military Commanders: Updated

Was'nt aware that the luftwaffe used Merlin engines either

The very first Bf 109 used a 695hp Rolls-Royce Kestrel imported from Britain and the last Bf 109 (actually Spanish HA-1112 M4Ls) used a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. Hows that for coincidence?!

Why has nobody mentioned Doenitz, the only chap who really worried Churchill and who was worshiped by his men. A true leader.

Re; Rolls Royce, I feel certain that the Kestral was used in the 109 during development before going into Luftwaffe service, ( but stand to be corrected) and the 1112 was not a luftwaffe aircraft.

You are correct but I was speaking in general terms of airframe. Kinda like a 1964 Ford Mustang and a 2009 Ford Mustang - similar yet different but same yet not...... Just interesting the two examples of the Bf 109 I mentioned both used a Rolls-Royce engine.
