His nickname was 'The Desert Fox', given to him by the British forces in North Africa. His nickname was well deserved, he surely was great and feared in North Africa, by the British, whom gave him this nickname, (Auchinleck, who also found fame in North Africa) was dispelled and dismissed by Churchill for coming up with this nickname (it showed he respected him, and it was surely not good to respect your opponent in a war) . His place was shortly after that taken by, a very famous name, Bernard Montgomery.
