Why was commander Rommel important in World War 2?

Erwin Rommel nicknamed "the Desert Fox" was commander of the German Afrika Korp during World War 2. After the Invasion of France in 1940, Hitler sen't Erwin Rommel to Africa. Rommel was able to take back the territory the Italians lost during Operation Compass. Everything that Operaion Compass had achived was lost because of Rommel and His Afrika Korp. Afterwards Rommel began to take over the rest of North Africa. The Britsh could not stop Rommels advance. However in 1942 Rommel's advance came to a halt at place called El Alamein. The Britsh under Bernard Montgomery, halted Rommel's advance. At El Alamein, the British was able to make Rommel retreat back into Tunisia which became a major Turing Point of the War. After the allied invasion of Northwest Africa, which became known as Operation Torch, Rommel knew all was lost. Hitler ordered Rommel to stand or die.

Rommel was approached by a couple of generals to either be tried for high treason or commit suicde. Rommel choose suicide. He choose suicide to protect his name and the two generals said that if Rommel committed suicide, his wife and son would not be punished and Rommel would be buried with full military honors.
