"(He went on with his attacks and won many tactical victories, but without an overall strategic objective.)"

I can't imagine where this idea comes from. Of course he had an overall strategic objective. Suez & Egypt was the objective. the very notion is absurd.

The British had yet another major advantage over Rommel. Enigma. They were recieving & breaking radio messages from the beginning of Rommels arrival. & yet couldn't even push "that" advantage. How many advantages did the Brits need?

Indeed Rommel out fought & outfought his opponents til the weight of material advantage was overwhelming in favor of allies. He lost due to things beyong his control. Rodina mentioned his not exploiting his being in Hitlers favor. That's absurd, Hitler was pychotic. no one could control him.

Monty did not easily outfight Rommel. Some Brit commanders wanted to quit at el alamein. It was anything under the sun but "easy". Monty had tons more supply & Rommel ran out of gas.
