No, Erwin. I do not think so. Because in Russia Rommel would have had to follow his superiors' orders. Because in Russia there are many marshes, woods, rivers and things which do not allow mobility. There were many urban fights... Imagine Rommel fighting at Stalingrad: no mobility, no corrdination between forces, an attrition war... That seems like the nightmare at El Alamein doubled by ten... And we know that Rommel didn't manage things very well at El Alamein...
