"Why the Crusader isn't actually bad... after several tangents on pre-war British Economy, wartime propaganda, and a beginner's guide to Fluid Defense tactics"<br>Never change, LazerPig. Never change.

Imagine if normal people got to write their own legacy like Rommel.<br><br>"There is a gap in your employment history, what happened?"<br><br>"Its all the Italian's fault really"

The fact that Rommel had to good sense to be dead before the Nuremberg trials probably helped his reputation a fair bit. Desert Fox outplays us yet again xD

In Patton's defense...it wasn't just his British superiors he didn't listen to. He pretty much built his career after WWI on ignoring his American superiors.

"What do you mean cover? Why would they take cover? That's not very sporting of them is it" Best and probably the most British military quote I think I've ever heard.

As a Leafaboo I am disappointed in how easily historians forget that the Ram tank single handedly won the entirety of WW2 and that the Avro Arrow was more advanced than even modern day stealth fighters.

I remember learning how T-34 tanks were near indestructible with their massive 45mm of sloped frontal armor, and how death trap Shermans were fragile with a pathetic 64mm of sloped frontal armor.

Something to keep in mind about the home guard is that a lot of the men that were "too old for the army" were in their 40s or 50s, so maybe a little old for long campaigns with no sleep, but by no means decrepit old men. Additionally them being in their 40s or 50s would put them in their late teens to thirties when the first world war broke out. A lot of the men in the home guard had been to war, they knew what would mess with a soldier and they knew that "the hun" was no fool.

Rommel's redemption started way before West Germany. Mythologizing him during the war gave the British an excuse for why they were defeated so many times in Africa. Making him an "honorable genius" took the sting away from their own losses.
