Some people say that Marshal Rommel, known as the eagle of the fascist German Empire and the fox of the desert, was a tactical master strategic dwarf, which led to the complete defeat of the Battle of El Alamein, which was as famous as the Battle of Stalingrad in World War II. I don't agree with this statement, Rommel ultimately lost to Montgomery at the Battle of El Alamein, mainly because of the difficulty of the woman. If Rommel is given sufficient troops and logistical support, especially if the strategic resources are sufficient, it is really difficult to say who wins and who loses.
Hitler did not want to intervene in the African battlefield, but unfortunately he had a pig teammate, that is, Mussolini's Italy. Mussolini watched the German army clean up France, the world's most powerful army power, in 39 days, and began to envy and hate, self-confidence, blatantly invaded the British colony of Egypt in Africa, wanted to control the Suez Canal, and then conquered the Middle East and other oil powerhouses. Whoever thought that this pig teammate in Italy would fight the British army and be captured 40,000 people. Instead of capturing Egypt, its own colony of Libya was in jeopardy, and the British could not find the North by the Italian army, and the number of captives expanded to 130,000. Hitler, whose focus was mainly on Europe, had to send his beloved General Rommel, the commander of the Seventh Panzer Division, to Africa to rescue the pig teammate, which led to Rommel's good play against Montgomery.
Rommel fought extremely cunningly, very good at taking advantage of the desert terrain and climate changes to launch unexpected attacks, the soldiers did not tire of clever use to the extreme, and soon turned the situation in North Africa with weak troops, driving 800 kilometers, the British army had to retreat to the Egyptian border, and the commanders-in-chief O'Connor and Nimes became Rommel's prisoners. The Battle of Tobrug in June 1942 gave Rommel a world war, and the Desert Fox deserved to be made a field marshal by Hitler. The bewildered British army once again retreated to El Alamein, only 350 kilometers from Cairo, the Egyptian capital. Churchill sent the strong Montgomery to lead the war in Africa in order to stabilize his position, and ordered him to hold El Alamein and never retreat. The British army strengthened its air defense on the island of Malta, and the air and sea supremacy in the African battlefield was firmly in the hands of the British army. Hitler, on the other hand, was too busy with the Battle of Stalingrad to draw troops and supplies to support Rommel, who was either in a daze or a curse.
In October 1942, when the two armies faced off in El Alamein, Rommel had only 80,000 troops at hand, most of the tanks were old Italian tanks, montgomery had 230,000 troops, and new tanks such as Grant and Sherman were continuously replenished. By this time, German military secret encryption technology had been deciphered by the British army. Montgomery and Rommel's war was like a duel between the sighted and the blind. The strategic intent of the Germans was in the hands of the British, and Montgomery would make up his mind. Rommel returned to Germany on the pretext of illness because of his dissatisfaction with Hitler, causing him to succeed him in the decisive stage of the Battle of El Alamein, the incompetent Sternm, a guy who was frightened by the fierce gunfire of the British army and burped. Hitler ordered Rommel to return to the North African battlefield quickly, but by this time Rommel was already exhausted, he wanted no one, no oil, no tanks, and when he heard that the oil carriers sent by Italy to Africa had been blown up by the Allies, he could only sigh. In the desert, combat tanks were the magic weapon for victory, and without oil tanks it became a pile of scrap iron, and in the end Rommel had only 35 tanks left. It's not that Rommel doesn't give a, it's that Hitler doesn't give a, it's that the situation doesn't work.
