Interesting how the DAK developed
It's fascinating how for "helping front" Rommel was given some hardscrabble scant few divisions in the beginning to his ingenuity, and toward the end in 1943 the DAK was a small army anyone else like this growth?

Re: Interesting how the DAK developed
Actually, two Panzer divisions was a strong force for a theater of that size. If the Germans had had more motorized divisions to spare, they might have substituted a couple of those for one of the Panzers. If that had been the case, Rommel might have been more persuaded to stick closer to his orders.Volklin wrote:It's fascinating how for "helping front" Rommel was given some hardscrabble scant few divisions in the beginning to his ingenuity, and toward the end in 1943 the DAK was a small army anyone else like this growth?
Then again, perhaps not...
