What Us general defeated Rommel in North Africa?

In late 1942, Rommel's Africa Korps was advancing eatward in north Africain an effort to seize the Suez canal when his forces were defeated by General Bernard Montgomery, commander of the British Eighth Army. Following that battle, Rommel retreated westward, with the Allied forces in pursuit. The final major battle in north Africa occurred in March, 1943 at Medidine in Tunisia, where Montgomery's Eighth Army routed the Afrika Korps, following which General Rommel returned to Germany shortly before the Axis forces in north Africa surrendered to the Allies. Following Rommel's return to Germany he began to express his conviction that Germany was fighting a lost cause and became associated with individuals who were plotting to oust Hitler and make peace with the Allies. Following an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Hitler in July, 1944, several of the participants implicated General Rommel in the plot and some members of his staff were executed. Not wanting it known that a hero of Rommel's status was involved in the plot against him, Hitler approved a plan to give Rommel the choice between suicide or arrest for treason. Rommel chose the former and took a fatal dose of poison supplied by the messengers who delivered the ultimatum to him on October 14, 1944.
