Dead General Quote of the Week

A Worthy Adversary.

This Dead General Quote of the Week comes from the commander of the Deutsches Afrika Korps, Field Marshall Erwin Rommel. Rommel's panzers fought a see-saw battle back and forth across the Libyan desert against General Bernard Montgomery's British 8th Army for almost two whole years. Made up mostly of Commonwealth troops, men from all over the British Empire became the Desert Rats needed to flush out the Desert Fox. After one battle, Rommel himself commented on the tenacity of these men gathered from around the globe:

Give me two Australian Divisions and I will conquer the world.
