Exactly. In fact, the 'Kh' reperesents a unique letter in Arabic and Farsi that has no english equivalent, hence why some people pronounce it as Johnson said, but that sound is present in most Germanic languages as well as Old English, which Modern English simply lost along the way (Some of it is left in languages like Welsh and Scots. examples: Loch - Scots, meaning Lake, Achtung - German, meaning Attention, and Dacht - Dutch, meaning thought [notice the similarity... once the 'd' became a 'th', which was classic Anglo-Saxon thing, only the vowel is different and the 'gh' is a remnant from when the word was actually pronounced with this guttural sound in Old English!]). It's basically the sound you make when gathering up phlegm before spitting. Come to think of it... I see why the English thought it wasn't worth it.
Yes, Rommel set up a great spy-ring in Egypt and North Africa, mostly using Nile women (polite term) to ferret information from the British pen-pushers in Cairo and elsewhere. Unfortunately for him once they found where the leaks were coming from he lost his 'Magical' powers.
The main source of Axis intelligence was from the US military attache in Cairo - Bonner Fellers. It was carelessness rather than deliberate but was disastrous for the Commonwealth forces.
I didn't recognize Mussolini with that hat! Totally looked like a Soviet or Nazi general to me. Well, I've only ever seen his publicity photo. Total facepalm, that one.
QM's call though.
"El Duce" and "The Desert Fox" didn't work very well.......
I really thought it was him!
