Rommel’s 1942 campaign is a masterpiece, and Gazala will probably be his best battle. Today, he jukes the Brits away from Benghazi his objective], with a feint toward Mechili. And he’s already chewed up at least one brigade of British armor.Not bad for 6 days’ work.

Maybe Hitler should reward Rommel's initiative and skill by presenting him with the Order of the Magnificant Bastard. Or something.

I think he would want a couple of more divisions. I believe he’ll wind up with a baton, and be the youngest Field Marshal in the German Army when he does.
