okay. yh the man was a fantastic general. the best german general. the man lost to bernard montgomery. so who is the better general. the man who fought in the open desert or the man who won in the open desert. rommel was an all round general though. hitler liked him. of course after rommel became a traitor and tried to make peace with the allied forces hitler had him burnt alive in hot oil or sometin. anyways. Montogomery alll the way. the brains behind Overlord. the overalll commander of the british forces. he was a field marshall. the highes rank of the highest. he was the supreme allied commander of WW2. thats why he is the gr8est
You need to study history more, just because you are in charge, does not mean you are the best suited for the operation. Erwin Rommel lost because he could not get the supplies he needed to fight a desert campaign. The British would of lost Africa long ago if supplies were not being deverted to the eastern front. Erwin lost because of a lack of supplies and replacements. An army fights on its stomach. If your troops are hungry, and there is no food to go around, do not expect to be around for long.
Did you notice that the losses for the British increased as his supply lines shortened? His losses were replaced and the equipment was able to stay in operation. Desert combat is the worse kind of combat out there, if you do not keep your equipment and yourself togethor in good order, you will die.
