::::: I'm skeptical.  This seems like a battle characterized by the British as a big victory to boost public morale.  In fact, a quick look confirms that Allied losses were nearly twice the German losses.  Rommel did retreat, however, so I guess that is what makes it a victory.  Surely he could have retaliated successfully later had Patton not arrived.
