German army general with the nickname desert fox?

Answer 1

Answer

Erwin Rommel was known as the Desert Fox. He earned this title, during the African Campaign, by continously defeating the allies time and again. Its very important to understand that during the later stages of the African Campaign, Hitler had stopped supplying Rommel, because of the STalingrad/Eastern Front Situation. Hitler chose to abandon the Africa Korps and left it to fight with no supplies. Rommel chose to stay on the offensive and used captured Allied Supplies(fuel, rations, trucks, artillary, tanks, logistics, etc...) to keep the Afrika Corps going. If you look at photos of Afrika Korps troops in the later stages of the campaign, you notice they're wearing captured English uniforms with German Insignia. Erwin Rommels success, even when abandoned by Hitler, gave the German People a much needed victory during the setbacks on the Eastern Front. I further believe that Field Marshall Rommel, if given sole command of Western Europe, could and would have defeated the allied landing in Normandy. He understood the allied airpower capabilities, from his experience in Africa, and would have staged the German Armour closer to the beaches, and the results would have been different. Runstedt didn't understand the Allied Air threat.
