Montgomery was also defeated, his worst military blunder being Operation Market Garden. Remember we watched a movie called "A Bridge Too Far" Ihsan?

rommel was defeated at normandy...and El Alamein...but 

Battle of Alamein-rommel was on sick leave he was nowhere near battlefield.

Normandy- rommel wanted to put all forces on wheels to counterattack allieds after landings "Field Marshal Rundstedt remained above Rommel as Supreme Commander West in command of all of occupied France.  This would later become a problem because even though Rommel commanded Army Group B, he needed permission to move units between his different Armies within the Army Group.  This actually meant that Rundstedt would then need to send the request to Hitler."

Dont balme rommel he was a good commander, but it wasnt enough

(On March 11th of 1943, Erwin Rommel was awarded by Hitler, the Knights Cross with Oakleaves, Swords and Diamonds.  At the time, Erwin Rommel was physically and morally shaken and was a shadow of his past glory.)

Ney? (What) Human beings? Generals consider themselves violant warlords, not human beings. If you are a human being and a general at the same time you screw up,thinking about every single soldier in your army...

.... Wha? No Albert Speer? Sure, he wasn't a General, but in his own words "I damn myself for keeping the Nazi war machine running longer than Hitler ever could have done it, and damn myself for not seeing the truth in the error of my path."

Inside the Third Reich, by Albert Speer.
