(#73098) ERWIN ROMMEL: The "Desert Fox" himself, Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel commanded the German/Italian forces in North Africa. A brilliant tactician feared and respected by friend and foe alike, Rommel and his famed "Afrika Korps" rolled across North Africa beginning in 1941. Only his own deteriorating supply lines and the courage of the British 8th Army could stop this wily "Desert Fox" from completing his conquest.
