<any over the years have tried to smear Rommel a a Nazi. And now they are trying to claim he wasn't the great General he clearly was. Its all ludicrous. Samuel Mitchum Junior has written many books on Him and has also written on this kind of Destructions of Heroes he notes the same with General Lee and Jackson whom both have received similar treatment.

Rommel was well respected by everybody including is British adversaries and deservedly so. For having that idiot Hitler fucking with his command in Normandy he did well with losing hand.

Maybe the term General, is a deterant from the vision of real battle. Does he who united all of China stand taller than the other who conquered it and more. What about the men who led the armies that conquered much of the known world. Sala 'adin, Ottoman are they the equal of Alexander or Ceaser. I will say this as a point of fact. The worst General of all time was Haig of the British command Corp. So fucked up was his command that they named a whiskey after him so the commrades of fallen troops could die under the same name.
