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.

Who was Hitler's north African commander?
Starting in February 1941, General Erwin Rommel commanded the German units that were sent to Libya to assist the Italians in the desert combat against the British in eastern North Africa (Libya & Egypt). This unit was called the Deutsches Afrikakorps (German Africa Corps). As the number of German units sent to North Africa increased, Rommel assumed command of the newly created and larger Panzergruppe Afrika (PanzerGroup Africa) from August 1941 to January 1942. This group included two Italian Corps in addition to the German units. His skill earned him the nickname "Desert Fox". On January 30, 1942 his command was redesignated as the Panzerarmee Afrika (Panzer Army Africa). However, after his defeat at the Second Battle of El Alamein in Egypt (October 23, 1942-November 5, 1942), his command was forced to retreat to the west, all the way to south Tunisia by January 1943. By then Rommel's command had been redesignated as the Deutsch-Italienische Panzerarmee (German-Italian Panzer Army). The Americans & British had recently invaded Morocco & Algeria (Operation Torch) and were driving east towards Tunisia. At northern Tunisia German General Hans-Jürgen von Arnim commanded the newly arrived German 5th Panzer Army. Field Marshal Albert Kesselringwas appointed the overall Axis commander in North Africa after the Allied invasions in Morocco and Algeria, for the purpose of defending Tunisia.
