So did Monty but saying something nice about Rommel just wasn't what the Brits wanted to hear when they were up to their necks trying to stay alive and free. Rommel was a damned fine man.

Honestly Monty, Patton and Rommel weren't that different. If they were on the same side the war would be over in a week.

William Alam el Halfa, El Alamein Medenine Mareth Line Normandy One standout victory?

If Rommel had his,way he would have dispatched with monty easily. He,was a much better leader and tactician.

Rommel was heavily out numbered.

@@robertbishop5357 Rommel never defeated Montgomery.

Graham Hoff Montgomery was the ONLY commander in North Africa who had the brains and savvy to realize that you do NOT outrun your supply lines by advancing too quickly. It wasn’t the lack of supplies that was the problem for Rommel. It was the fact that he moved too quickly, over extended himself and made his advances vulnerable to counter-attack. The British made exactly the same mistakes during Operation Crusader. Rommel had all the advantages at Torbruk in 1941 but he came up short and failed. On equal terms out in the open Rommel was great at fast moving armoured operations but he was pretty clueless on logistics and how not to over extend himself and he was not adept at overcoming fortified defenses. He didn’t understand that you do not EVER advance too quickly before your supplies can catch up with you and thus lay yourself open to counter attack. This is what Rommel did in 1941. By the end of 1941 he was exactly back to where he started from at the beginning of the year. Montgomery was the ONLY commander with the brains to figure out that you cannot continue to advance speedily in North Africa willy nilly. You need to be re-supplied and you DON’T over extend your supply lines. This is why as soon as Montgomery entered the picture in North Africa he only advanced one way. Forward and never backwards. He made sure he NEVER over extended his supply lines in a North Africa as the distances were huge and extremely problematic. Rommel didn’t have the savvy of Montgomery when it came to logistics and supply. Montgomery never outran his supply lines. He made sure he only advanced at a pace where his forces could always be re-supplied and thus he made sure his forward movements were never weakened and isolated from the supplies. This is why after Montgomery took over, there was only one way back for Rommel... retreat. Montgomery never even gave Rommel the opportunity for counter-attack as Montgomery never made his forces weak as other British commanders and Rommel himself did previously in 1941 and 1942. Montgomery was the smartest command in the entire North African war. He knew what it took to win.

Rommel was a murderer.

Correct - and ULTRA won many other battles for the British too.
