Germain, George Sackville, 1st Viscount Sackville, 1716-85, British soldier and statesman.
He was known as Lord George Sackville until 1770, when under the terms of a will he took the name Germain.
However, his vague orders to Sir William Howe to join Burgoyne may have cost Burgoyne the campaign of 1777, while the confusion in the plans of Lord Cornwallis and Sir Henry Clinton, arising partly from Germain's ignorance of American geography, contributed to the disaster of the Yorktown campaign.

 Charles Cornwallis, 1st Marquess Cornwallis Summary
Charles Cornwallis, 1st Marquess Cornwallis (1738-1805), was a British soldier and statesman.
His failure to catch George Washington at this time and later before the Battle of Princeton led to some criticism by Sir Henry Clinton and a feeling that Cornwallis was too cocksure.
As Cornwallis waited for resupply from the Royal Navy, the American commander George Washington learned that a French naval force was moving to enter the war for the first time, and he realised that Cornwallis' exposed position was an opportunity to win a victory that would resonate in the public imagination.

 Amazon.com: The Coward of Minden: The Affair of Lord George Sackville: Books: Piers MacKesy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
George Sackville was a relatively minor aristocrat whose organizational and military talents won him an appointment as top British cavalry officer in the German campaigns of the Seven Years War 1756-63 (the European theatre of the French and Indian wars).
Though the best contemporary evidence was that Ferdinand, not Sackville, was to blame for this omission, coalition politics (and the German-born King of England, George II) required that Sackville be court-martialled and scapegoated for the affair.
Among other things, he shows how rumors of Sackville's homosexuality may have proven a motivation for some of his detractors, and that many of his American critics have unwisely labelled him as the "Coward of Minden" without understanding the politics behind the court-martial.

Ironically, his disgrace endeared him to the future George III, who was very hostile to the actions of his grandfather George II and his governments, and when George III came to the throne, Sackville was restored.
From 1775 to 1782 he was secretary of state for America, and as such played a key part in planning the British effort during the War of American Independence, a role in which he did not shine.
