@jb7483 This is not true. It was Gudarian who translated British General Fullers tank tactics into German with his own money and used them to great affect. General Fuller was the only foreigner invited to Hitlers birthday parade in 1939 by the fuhrer personally. Hitler watched the hours long parade with Fuller and asked him: 'what he thought of his children' as hundreds of tanks roared past the window. Rommel was actually an Infantry officer and wrote a book on infantry tactics, not armoured warfare.

Rommel was actually a N4zi war criminal and would have faced judgment at Nuremberg if he had lived. Also Rommels initial success in North Africa was not caused by British incompetence as claimed, but by American security leaks from their Egyptian embassy. Through these leaks, Rommel knew exactly British strengths and weakness which he exploited to his advantage gaining the name the Desert Fox. Once the anti British American attaché was discovered and returned to America. After General Montgomery arrived, Rommels successes evaperated and he never won another battle.

@stischer47 Rommel was Hitlers golden boy and was the subject of much manufactured propoganda. Many of the familiar photographs of him looking out across the desert through his binoculars were actually painstakingly posed and taken by his official camera crew. Also Patton was lucky to have a very popular film made about him with an excellent performance by George C Scott. Many people seem to think it is a documentary.

@stischer47 Rommel was a N4zi poster boy and had a photography crew with him taking lots of posed photos for propoganda purposes. Patton was made famous by the film, but many people seem to think it was a documentary. However, its only loosely based on facts and was made purely for entertainment.
