Rommel vs Montgomery?

Auchinleck should be given credit for resisting Rommel for as long as he did, but Montgomery was exactly the right man to finish the job, and he knew best how to offset Rommel's strengths and exploit his weaknesses. Ironically, the 8th Army was little impressed by Montgomery when he arrived to take command of them. He was unknown, inexperienced, and slightly comical. Only Rommel was not laughing, and while studying a dossier on his new opponent described him as "a very dangerous man."
