They let you on here, child.

They do eh? I never noticed an 8 year old poster. And stop attacking me! :(

 

 

 

Edit: After examination, the poster registered 2 years ago, so he was only "Six" then. I think that proves its a fake b-day.

I thought we had already determined that he had no brain to use. So that comment was useless Banky. Use YOUR brain.

You can't manipulate me, Rommel.

His big battle was in Africa - it was his claim to fame. He put up a gallant fight, but due to circumstances out of his control, the Axis powers could not defeat the Allies.

 

Excerpted from a website:

 

On February 23rd, Rommel was forced to take the command of the Army Group Africa. Soon after, Rommel handed over the command of the Army Group Africa to General von Arnim.On March 6th of 1943, Erwin Rommel flew back to Germany, to persuade Adolf Hitler about the hopelessness of the Axis situation in Africa. In reality, Rommel was recalled back to Germany, he then was ordered to take the sick leave and all his pleas to return to Africa where turned down. On March 11th of 1943, Erwin Rommel was awarded by Hitler, the Knights Cross with Oakleaves, Swords and Diamonds. At the time, Erwin Rommel was physically and morally shaken and was a shadow of his past glory. Two months later, on May 13th of 1943, the surrender of all Axis forces (200.000 men) in North Africa, took place.

While it wasn't necessarily his fault, he was in charge of an operation that ultimately failed. THUS, he is a punk bitch loser. :P

Rommel, Erwin

 

 

 

Rommel, Erwin, 1891-1944, German field marshal. He entered the army in 1910 and rose slowly through the ranks. In 1939, Adolf Hitler made him a general. Rommel brilliantly commanded an armored division in the attack (1940) on France. In Feb., 1941, he took the specially trained tank corps, the Afrika Korps, into Libya. For his successes there he was made field marshal and earned the name the desert fox. In 1942 he pressed almost to Alexandria, Egypt, but was stalled by fierce British resistance and lack of supplies. A British offensive overwhelmed (Oct.-Nov., 1942) the German forces at Alamein (see North Africa, campaigns in). Rommel was recalled to Germany before the Afrika Korps's final defeat. He was a commander in N France when the Allies invaded Normandy in June, 1944. Allied success led Rommel, who had lost his respect for Hitler, to agree to a plot to remove Hitler from office. Wounded in an air raid in July, he had just recovered when he was forced to take poison because of his part in the attempt on Hitler's life in July, 1944.

See his memoirs and correspondence of World War II. (The Rommel Papers, ed. by B. H. Liddell Hart, 1953); biography by D. Young (1950, repr. 1969); studies by R. Lewin (1968, repr. 1972) and C. Douglas-Hume (1973).

Just for kicks, here's Erwin Rommel's suicide note:

 

"I have just had to tell your mother that I shall be dead in a quarter of an hour. Hitler is charging me with high treason. In view of my services in Africa, I am to have the chance of dying by poison. The two generals have brought it with them. It is fatal in three seconds. If I accept, none of the usual steps will be taken against my family. I'm to be given a state funeral. It's all been prepared to the last detail. In a quarter of an hour, you will recieve a call from the hospital in Ulm to say that I've had a brain seizure on the way to a conference."

 

God bless you, Uncle John's Bathroom Reader.

Rommel still lost. It was his soldiers out there who lost. He simply left before the actual defeat happened. But he was fighting in Africa for 2 or 3 years before his army ultimately lost. But thats a moot point; I'm simply nitpicking.

 

But he did lose.

Odd how this thread turned to a discussion of Erwin Rommel.

 

However tis a better discussion than for what the thread started out for.

Rant, you finally proved you're good for something....in the NHB folder no less!
