Frederick was a genius on all levels of Strategy - from grand national strategy all the way down to battlefield tactics.
Comparing Robert Lee to Frederick is laughable. Robert Lee had very little to offer beyond battlefield tactics.
Better to compare Grant with Frederick - Grant exhibited nearly the full range of skills that Frederick did; and, the combination of Lincoln and Grant was a match for Frederick. Lee was nevfer even aware of such high levels.
