The fox is undoly represented in history as a ww2 sideshow, a skermish on the
edge of importance. This is truly not just. Rommel was a feirce fow and the ,
the Britts and Ausies who gave thier lives in that fight should be remembered
more than they are. Even though africa and the middle east was not taken
until the yanks arived, Montgomery deserves much of the credit.

Very true, without the island bases from which the liberation of Europe would
have been a greate deal more dificult and might not have been achievable. The
US Army Air Force pilots who joined the Royal Air force in advance of the US

credit still goes to the British.
