German General Rommel was clear on this issue. He believed that the British had given the North African Theater a high priority. This was in contrast to the German High Command. Also, the British benefited by having the Royal Navy to provide as much support as it could for the British Eighth Army. Again, in contrast, Rommel did not believe that the Italian Navy could compete with the British Navy. When ever he asked Berlin for more troops, he was denied this support.
Bernard Montgomery was the British leader and Erwin Rommel was the German leader.

German General Erwin Rommel was defeated in northern Africa. Rommel fought valiantly, but needed sufficient troops to defeat the Allies. Hitler stupidly resisted doing this, choosing to save most of his troops for the upcoming disastrous attack on Russia. Rommel was disappointed, but continued to fight the allies with limited resources until the Americans joined the fight. Rommel's entire Afrika Corps was defeated.
By all accounts Rommel was not a dyed-in the wool Nazi, so yes he was admired by the Allies as well as his own troops.
