How do you become overrated when you were never rated high to begin with. That is my problem with that whole overrated/underrated nonsense. |

So does this mean he was even worse than his reputation? |

Indeed, who rated him anyway? |

Until he was given independent command he was considered a brilliant staff officer Clearly a good example of the Peter Principle |

No, it's true. He was the most over-rated German general of WWII. What isn't as often mentioned is that it was Hitler who over-rated him. No one else seems to have. |

I agree with Winston. I'm not sure people understand the concept of what overrated means. It means that people have a higher regard for your competence than it actually is. Given that Model is on the list should say a lot. If anything, he is underrated. |
