Agreed. Rommel did the best he could under untenable circumstances. Patton adored him. Studied him.
Line from the movie: “Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!”
Erwin Rommel was Germany’s Patton. Both shared a dislike for politics.
Both Officers were Career Military and great statisticians and theorists. Both Patton and Rommel fought in WW1 and WW2.
