Napoleon's Marshals: Bessires, Macdonald, Massna.
video description
The fact that Napoleon sent him to Spain, must have seemed particularly distatsteful to Macdonald. After all, his ancestors emigrated from Scotland to escape English tyranny; now he was imposing tyranny on another nation. I'm sure he was painfully aware of the cruel irony.

most of the marshals who came from innkeepers or peasants are self taught in battle.
unlike the british, wellington observed and studied the battles in europe and so used against them in spain, add the stubborness of the spanish and the lack of cooperation from other marshals

I wish desaix survived so I could have see him becoming one of the top marshals or Atleast Napoleons rival Moreau.
Moreau is interesting he has its ups and downs but I could say that he is a capable commander independelty.
I'd rank his level below massena.

Duke of wellington: When massena opposed to me on the field I never slept comfortably.
Damn! Massena must be a real fighter even when he is outnumbered he still find ways on how to win battles.

I have to mention that Massena won only against one core in the battle of zurich. When Suvorov came during the second battle of Zurich he was completely crushed and Massena almost got captured

I love that MacDonald and Massena come one after the other. One was unexceptional, but reliable and a man of honour. The other was brilliant, but also a corrupt scoundrel.

This really exposes that Napolean developed great generals that could serve under him, but many struggled with independent commands.

Honestly, I wish there'd be an HBO series about the lives of these men. Each are unique and quiet interesting in there own ways.

Hearing of Marshal messena was sad, getting shot in the face and lossing a eye isnt easy. He was a great General!
