“As senior commander, Rommel was unusual in having never fought on the Eastern front, but he had the experience of battling both the British and the Americans and understood how debilitating their air power could be; combatting overwhelming enemy air forces was something with which veterans of the Eastern Front had far less experience. 'It's not a matter of fanatical hordes to be driven forward in masses against our line, with no regard for casualties and little recourse to tactical craft; here we are facing an enemy who applies all his native intelligence to the use of his many technical resources . . . Dash and doggedness no longer make the soldier, Bayerlein,”
