If his force was so crippled, then how could he consistently win against a superior enemy force?
This argument doesn't make any sense to me because it is completely illogical.
You don't win battles with a crippled army unless you are really really really good. I don't think he was that good. He knew his limits or he would have failed early on.
Read about the WWI battle where Rommel got the Pour Le Merit and you will see what he could do when properly supported. In N. Afrika, Hitler had Rommel fighting with one hand tied behind his back, and he still managed to make do.
