Agreed.

If Rommel was a Genius as some like to claim, he would be fighting on the Eastern front along side the greatest German commanders of the war.

The loss of Africa did not mean a Loss for Germany. A loss in the East meant just that.

The best of the best of what Germany had to offer was in the East not Africa.
Rommel was good, but far from the best.
