I would also add Radomir Putnik to this list,too...
 
Putnik, the general commander of Serbian forces during the WW I between 1914-16, had great success in stopping the advancing Austrian troops initially and inflicted great casualties upon them..
 
Later,Putnik died and Misic replaced his post while the remaining Serbian forces were being reorganized in Corfu.

Heinz Guderian, the initiator and first practicer of Blitzkrieg tactics in Western Front, aren't seriously taken into account and is not famous like Rommel or Van Rundstedt,too..

Nathaniel greene deserves alot of the Credit for defeating Cornwallis. Cornwallis was unable to counter Green's guerrila-like tactics and that lead to the British defeat in the South.

Washington gets all the credit for the revolutionary war. I guarantee most people have never even heard of Nathaniel Greene.
