In World War 2, the Desert Fox was known as Erwin Rommel. He is known for the 20th July Plot, which was a Assassination Attempt by Hitler but didn't succeed due to change in location of the meeting.
General George Patton was known to speak several languages, primarily English and French. He had a working knowledge of German, which he used during World War II to communicate with German prisoners of war. His fluency in these languages reflected his extensive military education and training.
German flying squadrons were known as the Luftwaffe.
AnswerErwin 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.General Erwin Rommel.A brilliant military strategist who became famous for leading German troops in Africa during World War II
