I think Patton compared to Rommel in his ability to get his soldiers going, and his tank strategies were very strike and attack. Although he never had the freedom to mount a large scale battle like Rommel did in smaller contexts you could compare Rommel and Patton. They both Liked eachother. Rommel was pissed when he found out it wasnt Rommel he was fighting in North Africa, his replacement.
