Erwin Rommel's 3 Biggest Tactical Disasters

Erwin Rommel is remembered as one of the greatest commanders of the Second World War — the Desert Fox, the Ghost Division, the general who seemed to operate on instinct alone. But behind the legend lies a more complicated story. Three times during the North African campaign, Rommel's most celebrated qualities — his aggression, his hunger for the bold stroke, his refusal to accept limits — turned against him with devastating consequences. The siege that stalled his greatest advance. The armored dash that handed his enemies exactly the time they needed. The offensive launched on empty fuel tanks against a commander who had already read his intentions. This is not a takedown of Rommel's legacy. It is something more interesting than that — an honest look at how genius, applied to the wrong problem, can be as dangerous as incompetence.
