Rommel also commanded the German Army that defended the beaches of Normandy.

Although at the time of the invasion, he was giving his woman a pair of shoes biggrin:

cyanide oOo:

It has yet to be revealed if Rommel was actually ploting against Hitler, i think germany loves him so much they will not tell the truth. If he had directed the attack on Russia they might have had less casualtys, german panzer tacticts were always the same, a double pincer maneuver. Russia anticipated this in the battle at kursk. Maybe with Rommel in command they would have chosen a new tactic and actually have surprised the russians. Whatever the case the war was lost when they invaded russia, hitler simply miscalculated the number of armored vehicles russia had. He had no chance. er got bit off topic oOo:

[quote="=BA-MF=LoneGunner65=2nd=c":2bd43]He was the general of an armor division for the nazi's in north africa. His code name was desert fox.[/quote:2bd43]

Because he was the general of an armour devision that makes him and his troops nazis? I don't think so.

Yeah one more thing, Rommel fought for Germany and did not fight for the political ambitions of the Third Reich so he's not a Nazi. He didn't think Hitler was a brave man.
