Re: History fail ?

Rommel wasn't let down logisticians. He utterly ignored them and then expressed both shock and horror as he ran out of supplies/fuel/munitions at exactly the time that they'd warned him he would.

He was the definition of a good Divisional commander, an average Corp level one and a poor Army commander.

Whatever other bad things I may say about Montgomery he at least (mostly) understood the importance of logistics.
