Rommel may have caught the British out in North Africa when they thought he would hold his position rather than attack, but they did the same thing to him with Tobruk. He was fooled into thinking the attack was some time off so he went back to Germany, only to have to rush back to North Africa when the attack started. He would misread the Allies again just before D-Day when he thought the Allies would not attack and went home for his wife's birthday, despite the fact that he himself thought that was the best time to attack. Which goes to show how little he knew about the Allies. So for two very important events of the war he was not there.
