At the beginning of WWII, the Italian army invaded and attacked Egypt but
received severe defeats from British-led counter attacks. Due to this, Field
Commander Rommel was sent to North Africa to save the situation. It was decided
that two German divisions would support their Italian counterparts in the
invasion of English-held Egypt, which resulted in a complete and utter defeat
for the defending English forces. Always commanding from the front lines, Rommel
and his African Corps chased the British troops, eventually cornering them at
the Egyptian border. With Rommel's success, he was both respected and feared by
the English-led forces and was called “the Desert Fox” for his skillful
desert campaigns.
