| I voted yes, because I think that Rommel wouldn't have obeyed Hitler's most foolish orders. Maybe there would not have been Stalingrad as we remember it if Rommel would have been there instead of Paulus. Or maybe in northern flank Leningrad would have fallen if tactician like Rommel would have been there. Still it might have happen that Rommel would have been dismissed after he had denied Hitler's orders.
I doubt that Axis never had true chance to take Alexandria and Rommel was mainly just wasting his time there. Someone like Kesselring would have been suitable to stabilize situation there and hold forces of Western Allies.
