WW2 Personalities Thread: Rommel

I've gone for Rommel this time, WW2 isn't one of my strong points. WW1 and WW2 were so boring in school that I switched off.

Relearning it, with the added experience of having been in combat sends shivers down my spine.

Like the MacArthur thread, feel free to jot down any of your thoughts about the man. The Theatre he fought in and the battles he commanded his side in.

Those wars were anything but boring.

Rommel was a case of more myth over reality.

He was fairly humane and not a bad general. Great image.

But he was still a lackey of the Reich. He did conspire against The Bohemian Corporal. Cost him dearly of course.

But in the Wehrmacht, good generals were fairly common.

Master tactician in the new emerging era of mechanized warfare.

The desert campaigns were probably the first time tank warfare had seen such topography to fight in, and he mastered it. Interesting personal life too.

Essex.

A few years after the war my grandfather was posted to Lybia, so my grandparents, mum and uncle ended up living in what was Rommel's headquarters.

Useless fact...

Some way to go.

Once he was seen to be surplus to requirements -The goons turned up at his home, and took him for a walk

He returned with the pistol and said goodbye to his wife. Went up stairs and pulled the trigger.

Then at his funeral the coffin was surrounded by nazi flags, that was how they treated their finest.

H probably thought he was involved in stauffenberg plot
