"In the absence of orders, find something and kill it."
When Rommel arrived in Libya, he was ostensibly under the command of some jerkass Italian General and had strict orders to stay near the port of Tripoli and defend it against any potential attacks by the nearby British 8th Army, which was a fucking bullshit assignment. Well Rommel was like, "fuck that dude I'm fucking Erwin Rommel and I do whatever the fuck I want" and immediately set out to kick some asses. He sensed that the Brits had a tenuous hold on the territory surrounding Tripoli and immediately whipped out his ball-shooting machine guns and started rocking faces with his Panzers, launching a massive campaign across North Africa. With a small, ill-supplied force of German armor and mechanized infantry, Rommel was able to capture an astonishing amount of territory in a very short period of time and before the Brits had finished their afternoon tea they were in the process of being humped while Rommel captured all of Libya and laid seige to the Allied fortress of Tobruk, leaving a trail of charred rubble in his wake.
The Desert Fox was pretty much unbeatable in land warfare, but unfortunately for him the Afrikakorps didn't have a whole lot going for it besides it's hardcore tanks and a brilliant strategist at the helm. Due to Rommel's rapid advances and balls-out tactics, the Korps had trouble bringing in enough supplies and fuel from it's base in Tripoli, and he was facing a logistical nightmare as Allied naval and air superiority took out two-thirds of the beef jerky, Nintendo DS games, bullets and other random shit that he was supposed to have to re-supply his units. In addition to this, most of the German military might was focused on fucking up Josef Stalin's Communist buddies in the USSR, and German High Command didn't sent Afrikakorps much in the way of reinforcements. Rommel was always outnumbered at least two-to-one, but still managed to kick enough ass to win the day every single time. However right about this time, the fucking hardcore British 8th Army launched Operation Crusader - a massive effort to break the seige of Tobruk and eliminate the German presence in North Africa.
But Rommel wasn't just going to sit back like some fucking chumpburger and do lame shit like dig trenches and erect fortifications - he was going to go nutsack-to-the-wall and charge a force of over 700 tanks with his group of about 260 tanks and some Italian motorized infantrymen riding around on Vespa scooters eating canolis. He swept through the blistering heat of the desert, encircled the Commonwealth forces with his small group and completely fucked them in the ass (metaphorically speaking of course). He disrupted Allied supply lines, outflanked the enemy, drove into Egypt and overwhelmed the defenders at Tobruk. At the Battle of El Alamein he was stopped after several days of stalemated fighting after his tanks ran out of gas, all his reinforcements got wiped out by British air power and his soldiers had all broken their rifles in half while fighting hand-to-hand combat against rhinoceroses. Unable to press the attack, he held his position and awaited support from Berlin. Then he got sick and started barfing his guts out like a drunk frat boy and had to go back to Germany to seek medical attention.

Merkels Verlautbarung nach dem Paris-Gipfel ist schon fast komisch. Man sei ja skeptisch, aber jetzt wolle man dabei helfen, dass die Militäraktion ein Erfolg werde. Die Aktion, an der man sich nicht beteiligen werde. Die man aber unterstützen werde dadurch, dass Deutschland sich mehr in Afghanistan engagiert, damit die anderen Staaten die Hände freier haben für Libyen. Und übrigens: Wie wäre es mit einem Öl-Embargo?
