But if you have a crystal ball, you&#8217;ll know that not just Rommel arriving in North Africa, but also the decisions on the British side this week will have momentous impact on the war in total. That&#8217;s one of the things we discovered early-on with a chronological narrative, it suddenly puts things in a new perspective. The relationship between events changes, and things that might seem too boring, or undramatic to include in a &#8220;great story&#8221; take on a whole new meaning, increasing our understanding of cause and effect of the &#8220;greater&#8221; events that will come. On a different note, we just finished shooting a new batch of videos today and we&#8217;ll be announcing some fascinating developments on our program in the coming weeks. Stay tuned, and stay awesome, you all are by far the best community on YouTube!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Screenshot_2020-02-16-Enter-Erwin-Rommel-\u2013-The-British-Advance-in-Africa-\u2013-WW2-\u2013-077-\u2013-February-15-1941.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Screenshot_2020-02-16-Enter-Erwin-Rommel-\u2013-The-British-Advance-in-Africa-\u2013-WW2-\u2013-077-\u2013-February-15-1941-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-55029\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Screenshot_2020-02-16-Enter-Erwin-Rommel-\u2013-The-British-Advance-in-Africa-\u2013-WW2-\u2013-077-\u2013-February-15-1941-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Screenshot_2020-02-16-Enter-Erwin-Rommel-\u2013-The-British-Advance-in-Africa-\u2013-WW2-\u2013-077-\u2013-February-15-1941-853x480.png 853w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Screenshot_2020-02-16-Enter-Erwin-Rommel-\u2013-The-British-Advance-in-Africa-\u2013-WW2-\u2013-077-\u2013-February-15-1941-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Screenshot_2020-02-16-Enter-Erwin-Rommel-\u2013-The-British-Advance-in-Africa-\u2013-WW2-\u2013-077-\u2013-February-15-1941-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Screenshot_2020-02-16-Enter-Erwin-Rommel-\u2013-The-British-Advance-in-Africa-\u2013-WW2-\u2013-077-\u2013-February-15-1941.png 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World War Two Published 15 Feb 2020 While the Germans send one of their best generals to North Africa to bail out the Italians, Great Britain switches focus from Libya to Greece, but make symbolically important gains in East Africa.
