I think that one must blur a lot of facts to reasonably compare the two. The Greek garrison army defeated the Italians and drove them back into Albania. So one could argue that they accomplished what O’Connor did. The French drove back an Italian army on their southern border while they were being overrun by the Germans. I’m pretty sure that the only people who did not defeat the Italians were the spear-armed Ethiopian tribesmen. Yes, Rommel and O’Connor brilliantly out-flanked their opponent, but one has to remember who their opponents were to scale the accomplishment. House training my puppy is not reasonably comparable to lion taming.
