Germany has a very respectable general, that is, the desert fox "Rommel". Rommel was a soldier through and through. Under his excellent tactical command and thought, he won the control of North Africa by winning more with less. But for Britain, a powerful opponent, Churchill was vigorously touting it.

In the Battle of El Alamein, Rommel only commanded three divisions of the German African Army, and in Alaman, only 50,000 troops and 550 tanks hit Montgomery's195,000 men and 1029 tanks. Eventually outnumbered, forced to quit. The Battle of Stalingrad was the turning point of the whole World War II, and the Battle of El Alamein was only a local turning point of a secondary battlefield. Winning such a war with more wins than less has nothing to do with the overall situation. For Britain and the United States, especially the British, there is nothing worth advocating!

Then why do the British, especially Churchill, deliberately exaggerate the battle of El Alamein and the myth of Rommel?

When the Battle of Stalingrad turned into a full-scale counterattack, Churchill saw that Hitler's Nazi defeat was inevitable. In order to show Britain's important role in World War II and the United States and the Soviet Union, he needs to highlight Britain's contribution in World War II. Churchill praised Rommel, commander-in-chief of the German army, and in order to improve his position in the Battle of El Alamein, he was named "the fox of the desert". Only by holding high the opponent you have defeated can you show that you are better. In fact, the Battle of El Alamein can't even compare with the Battle of Midway, let alone the Battle of Stalingrad, because after the Battle of Midway, the situation in the Pacific battlefield was reversed. But since there is a need, since ancient times, the winner is king, too much!

In addition, he did so for a more specific purpose, that is, to find an excuse for Britain (and the United States) to delay the opening of the second front in Europe. After Nazi Germany launched a full-scale attack on the Soviet Union, Churchill was the fastest among the world leaders at that time. In his radio address, he said, "We told Russia and the Russian people all the assistance we can give." Then he proposed to open up a "second front" in Europe, but in the end, with the change of the war situation, he worried that the Soviet Union would control the whole of Europe after defeating Germany. Churchill reneged on his word, postponed the opening of the "second battlefield" in Europe, and personally persuaded Roosevelt to "fail to see the necessity of opening the second battlefield in Europe". Finally, from 194 1 to1944 on June 6, the allied forces landed in Normandy, and the "second battlefield" finally opened up. However, whether the "second battlefield" was opened or not had no vital influence on the whole World War II, but only accelerated the demise of the Axis.

But it has a very important impact on the post-war interest distribution. Therefore, Churchill must raise Rommel, indicating that the North African War affected the opening of the "second battlefield" in Europe. In fact, looking at Rommel's record in North Africa, the most brilliant thing is to lead 90,000 Axis troops to defeat 1 100000 British troops and capture the bloody sands of important ports in northeast Libya. But he was beautified by the West such as Britain and America represented by Churchill. The important reason is to show the importance of Britain in World War II and the distribution of post-war interests.
