I thought we were talking about Europe?? Also, the Afrika Korps were a tiny fraction of Germany's military strength. That were good, sure. We also outnumberd them by a huge margin. Not much for making a fair fight, but such is war. You win however you can.
Tying all this back to the original topic, the West tends to pat themselves on the back and give themselves far too much credit. Quibbling over who was the most important Western Power is just silly.
"Was Montgomery over rated?" Lets face it, everything the West did is over rated. This is not intended to instult anyone's swelling pride in their respective countries. Its just being realistic.
