As long as we're throwing out general and minister choices, I put forward Paul Archer (real name Antipov), another of the Russian communist emigres from New York. Unfortunately, there are no appropriate photos on IMDB for Tom Courtenay, who played Pasha Antipov in the old Dr. Zhivago. Something tells me that a man in a top hat might be appropriate on the other side of the barricades in 1848 Paris... but not so much in a tank.
And while I'm at it, I firmly believe that Joe Steele's armored corps should be the John Henry Corps.
