Yep my bad sorry. Was trying to do it all from memory and well
guess i remembered some wrongly 
Oh another thing though, the German tanks had a huge advantage over
the early French and British tanks in the design and operation. The
German tanks had a crew of 4. A driver, Gunner,Loader and
Commander. The French had 3 man tanks. Driver,Loader and
Commander/Gunner.(Not sure if the comannder or loader doubled as
the Commander. But from what i can recall, it's this way)
So while the German tank gunner could shoot while his commander
picked a new target and manned the radio, the french had to shoot,
pick target,shoot.
Meaning the Germans could effectively keep a shooting as long as
there were targets, the French had to Shoot and then pick a new
target then shoot again. Add that do the fact that the commander
had to man the radio too, meant that the French tanks were usually
very overwhelmed.
Agree that their higher casualty could be due to the difficult
mission they draw. However, there is often situation where they
could prevail with tactical withdrawal to reduce lost but they
choose not to and hold ground.... Most of the upper echelon leaders
in SS are probably chosen based on loyalty but this is probably not
the case for the officer in its combat arm... like Paul Hausser,
Sepp Dietrich and Felix Steiner...Interestingly, SS leaders seem to
excel very much in tactical operation than strategy than their
regular army counterpart... probably with the exception of Dessert
Fox
Agreed that some were good. However I believe alot of them were
drawn from the wehrmacht themselves. Well apart frm Sepp Dietrich
who was leader of the LAH since forever haha.
There have been times soldiers were choosen because they were
loyal. Like Himmler who was put incharge of the SS army even though
he was more a politician then a general. Heck Paulus was put
in-charge of 6th Army was more with his political loyalties then
his skills. Most of the more brash panzer commanders infact lost
their commissions because they were not so politically relieable.
Hence retreated when it was better unlike the SS units who held on
because Hitler said so heh.
Btw i dont think Rommel was part of the waffen SS. Or even
commanded them. He never had any while in Afarica.And they werent
under his direct command in Normandy.
