	: Second World War : Events : Tragic Death of Rommel :
		The marshal-of-field Erwin the Rommel, most famous and wanted general-fekmarschall of the Reich, died in its house of Herrlingen in consequência of the serious wounds the one that was subject in the front of Normandy in the past day 17 of July.
		A certainty is that, although Rommel to have some knowledge of the attempted against one, never was joined to the group nor participated in any of the meetings of the conspirators, but the suspicion they were each time more centered in it.
		Rommel chooses this last alternative and is said farewell to its woman, its son and its Aldinger assistant.

		Rommel was born in Heidenheim, approximately 50 km from Ulm, in the state of WÃ¼rttemberg.
		Rommel became the youngest recipient of Prussia's highest medal, the Pour le MÃ©rite, an honor traditionally reserved for generals only and which he received after fighting in the mountains of north-east Italy.
		Some historians contrast Rommel's withdrawal of his army back to Tunisia against Hitler's dreams of much greater success than even his capture of Tobruk (in sharp contrast to the fate suffered by the German 6th Army at the Battle of Stalingrad under the command of Friedrich Paulus which stood its ground and was annihilated).

	Saving Private Ryan: Field Marshal Erwin Rommel
		Rommel is most famous for his command of the Afrika Korps in North Africa in 1942 and 1943, at which time he earned the nickname the "Desert Fox," for his ability to move his forces in ways the Allies could not predict.
		In spite of his efforts, Rommel had difficulty in assembling a proper defense force, in part due to conflicting views on how defending units should be placed, and because of Hitler's unwavering demand that his forces fight to the death and not retreat or give up ground.
		Rommel was later implicated in a plot to assassinate Hitler, and on October 14, 1944 he committed suicide in order to protect his family and avoid a public trial.

	The Desert Fox
		Rommel's father was a teacher, as his grandfather had been, and his mother was the daughter of a senior official.
		As early as the fall of 1943, Rommel, a purely professional soldier whose judgment was not swayed by political predilections, had been convinced that the war could no longer be won and that Hitler was prepared neither to face that fact nor to draw the inevitable conclusion--the necessity of making peace with the Western powers.
		Rommel did not reject the suggestion, but the men who wanted to extricate Germany from the war never revealed to Rommel that they planned to assassinate Hitler.

		Rommel's papers provide his first-hand account of the war, with a focus on defensive preparations for the defense of the coast.
		Although many of his papers were deliberately destroyed in the midst of the July 20th plot, as Rommel was involved in it, his extant papers relay enough information on how he viewed the defense of France in 1944, for which he was responsible.
		The Rommel Papers gave me a greater understanding of not only Rommel the soldier, but also Rommel as a man. The hardships and difficulties facing Rommel and his troops are thoroughly described in this excellent work.

		Seeing as this is not an actual finished works and Rommel did not have the time to go back after some years and add his retrospective thoughts to it, he does not make that many conclusions as to how things turned out.
		There is much time spent on how Rommel could have come to the decision to be involved in the July 20th plot, and what kinds of things must have come along to make him choose to be involved.

		The book covers from Rommel’s birth in 1891 to Rommel’s “suicide” in 1944; unfortunately, the first 138 pages of "Knight’s Cross" (about 25% of the book) discuss the first 49 years of Rommel’s life (about 92% of his life).
		Rommel’s skill on the battlefield scarcely exceeds his skill with the pen, and inasmuch as one cannot help but read about his wartime exploits in a biography, I feel it’s better to have it straight from the horse’s mouth [such as it is].
		Rommel writes with all the skill of a natural genius, poetically weaving metaphors into his prose even as tanks explode and men die.

	Blitzkrieg, 1940
		General Erwin Rommel, who would later gain fame in the African desert as the "Desert Fox", led the 7th Panzer Division as it crashed through the Belgian defenses into France, skirting the Maginot Line and then smashing it from behind.
		Two days later, Rommel and his forces raced behind and parallel to the Maginot Line, and then turned north to attack the fortifications from behind.
		Rommel served in the infantry during World War I. Amazingly, he did not take command of his first panzer unit until 3 months before the German invasion of France.

		To this is added by Rommels son Manfred the story of the field marshalls last weeks and the final day when he was given the choice of an honorable suicide or an ignominious trial for treason.
		Undoubtably the most perceptive and insightful German commander of the war, Rommel exhibits incredible understranding of troops, commanders, and what is possible and impossible on the battle field.

	Rommel's Rules of Warfare
		While Rommel's rules are mainly aimed at the operational and strategic level, they do have some validity in the tactical ASL environment.
		Rommel refers to these tactics as the "sword and shield," where the sword was the armor and the shield was the anti-tank screen that was deployed _right_ up front.
		[Rommel was a master of deception, and his British opponents were uncertain or hesitant enough to keep giving Rommel the initiative.
