Erwin Rommel
Erwin Johannes Eugen Rommel (15 November 1891 – 14 October 1944), popularly known as the Desert Fox, was a German field marshal (German: Generalfeldmarschall) of World War II. He earned the respect of both his own troops and his enemies.
Rommel was a highly decorated officer in World War I and was awarded the Pour le Mérite for his exploits on the Italian Front. In World War II, he further distinguished himself as the commander of the 7th Panzer Division during the 1940 invasion of France. His leadership of German and Italian forces in the North African campaign established him as one of the most able commanders of the war, and earned him the appellation of the Desert Fox. He is regarded as one of the most skilled commanders of desert warfare in the conflict. He later commanded the German forces opposing the Allied cross-channel invasion of Normandy.
Rommel is regarded as having been a humane and professional officer. His Afrika Korps was never accused of war crimes, and Allied soldiers captured during his Africa campaign were reported to have been treated humanely. Orders to kill Jewish soldiers, civilians and captured commandos were ignored. Later in the war, Rommel was indirectly linked to the conspiracy to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Because Rommel was a national hero, Hitler desired to eliminate him quietly. He forced Rommel to commit suicide with a cyanide pill, in return for assurances that Rommel's family would not be persecuted following his death. He was given a state funeral, and it was announced that Rommel had succumbed to his injuries from an earlier strafing of his staff car in Normandy.

The FORCED 'Execution' Of Erwin Rommel - The Desert Fox
During the Second World War, there was a German general who received a fearsome reputation as a military genius and tactician. Erwin Rommel was nicknamed, 'The Desert Fox,' by his enemies and his allies due to his wily and skilled reading of the battlefield. He was synonymous with the conflict in North Africa, being placed in charge of the Afrika Corps, and he led them with great skill. Hitler was a great admirer of Rommel, and promoted him heavily, and his victories in Africa against the Allies elevated him to a incredibly popular figure within Nazi Germany. Erwin Rommel was then handed over control of overseeing the defence of Normandy in anticipation for an Allied Invasion, that would come during D-Day. However in 1944, during his celebrated military career and in the midst of World W...

Erwin Rommel – welche Rolle spielte er in der NS-Zeit? | Terra X
Erwin Rommel ist umstritten. Er war Hitlers Lieblingsgeneral, wurde wegen seines Einsatzes im Afrikafeldzug als „Wüstenfuchs“ von Freund und Feind bewundert, war populärster Star der Nazi-Propaganda. Bei den einen genießt er bis heute hohes Ansehen, bis heute sind Bundeswehrkasernen nach ihm benannt. Für andere war er verstrickt in einen mörderischen Krieg. Wusste er vom geplanten Attentat auf Hitler, oder war er nur ein Karriere-Soldat? Der oft zitierte Mythos um Rommel entsteht in Libyen, das die Italiener 1941 an die Briten zu verlieren drohen. Hitler schickt Rommel zu Hilfe. Der treibt bis 1942 die Briten fast 1500 km nach Osten bis nach El Alamein, wo es zur Entscheidungsschlacht kommt. Nach zehn Tagen zieht sich Rommel gegen den Willen Hitlers zurück. Am Ende des Kampfes in Norda...

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Patton (George C. Scott) and his men attack and annihilate Rommel's battalion of tanks and infantry during the Tunisia campaign in Africa.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
In 1943 North Africa, George Patton (George C. Scott) assumes command of (and instills some much-needed discipline in) the American forces. Engaged in battle against Germany's Field Marshal Rommel (Karl Michael Vogler), Patton drives back "The Desert Fox" by using the German's own tactics. Promoted to Lieutenant General, Patton is sent to Sicily, where he engages in a personal war of egos with British Field Marshal Montgomery (Michael Bates). Performing brilliantly in Italy, Patton seriously jeopardizes his future with a single slap. While touring an Army hospital, the General comes across a GI (Tim Considine) suffering from nervous fatigue. Incensed by what he considers a slacker, Patton smacks the poor soldier and orders him to get well in a hurry. This incident results in his losing his command-and, by extension, missing out on D-Day. In his final campaign, Patton leads the US 3rd Army through Europe. Unabashedly flamboyant, Patton remains a valuable resource, but ultimately proves too much of a "loose cannon" in comparison to the more level-headed tactics of his old friend Omar Bradley (Karl Malden). Patton won 7 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Scott, an award that he refused.

During the Second World War, there was a German general who received a fearsome reputation as a military genius and tactician. Erwin Rommel was nicknamed, 'The Desert Fox,' by his enemies and his allies due to his wily and skilled reading of the battlefield. He was synonymous with the conflict in North Africa, being placed in charge of the Afrika Corps, and he led them with great skill. Hitler was a great admirer of Rommel, and promoted him heavily, and his victories in Africa against the Allies elevated him to a incredibly popular figure within Nazi Germany.
Erwin Rommel was then handed over control of overseeing the defence of Normandy in anticipation for an Allied Invasion, that would come during D-Day. However in 1944, during his celebrated military career and in the midst of World War 2, Rommel began to doubt the German war effort and Hitler's leadership. He began to see no way for the Germans to win the war, and tried to get Hitler to negotiate a truce with the Western Allies, however he became implicated in the July 20th Plot, (Stauffenberg Plot) to assassinate Adolf Hitler. A number of his friends grew close to the plot, and Rommel was aware of a coup to overthrow the Dictator of Nazi Germany, but was not aware that the plan resulted in the death of Hitler. He was even briefed that he would lead Germany after the removal of Hitler from power, however the plot failed.
After the Stauffenberg Plot, the Gestapo rounded up anyone linked to the failed bombing of Hitler's Wolf's Lair. During torture, Rommel's name was mentioned and he was explicitly linked. This caused a problem for Hitler, as he could not execute the incredibly popular general, so he gave Erwin Rommel three choices; defend himself in front of Hitler, face the People's Court which would have resulted in his execution by the guillotine, or take his own life. This ultimatum in a sense was Rommel's death sentence, and there was no way that he would get out of the situation alive. It was either be executed by the hand of Hitler's generals, the guillotine, or take his own life. He chose the latter, and after his death he was celebrated as a war hero still in Germany, and was given a state funeral.
Although Rommel was not explicitly executed, he certainly was offered a death sentence by Hitler and his government.

Erwin Rommel ist umstritten. Er war Hitlers Lieblingsgeneral, wurde wegen seines Einsatzes im Afrikafeldzug als „Wüstenfuchs“ von Freund und Feind bewundert, war populärster Star der Nazi-Propaganda.
Bei den einen genießt er bis heute hohes Ansehen, bis heute sind Bundeswehrkasernen nach ihm benannt. Für andere war er verstrickt in einen mörderischen Krieg. Wusste er vom geplanten Attentat auf Hitler, oder war er nur ein Karriere-Soldat?
Der oft zitierte Mythos um Rommel entsteht in Libyen, das die Italiener 1941 an die Briten zu verlieren drohen. Hitler schickt Rommel zu Hilfe. Der treibt bis 1942 die Briten fast 1500 km nach Osten bis nach El Alamein, wo es zur Entscheidungsschlacht kommt. Nach zehn Tagen zieht sich Rommel gegen den Willen Hitlers zurück. Am Ende des Kampfes in Nordafrika gehen 130.000 deutsche Soldaten in Gefangenschaft.
Rommel ist nicht mit dabei. Er ist jetzt zuständig für die deutsche Verteidigung gegen eine alliierte Landung. Bei der Landung am 6.Juni 1944 ist die Überlegenheit der Alliierten erdrückend. Nach wenigen Tagen ist klar: Die Schlacht ist für die Wehrmacht verloren - und damit auch der Krieg im Westen. Rommel und sein Stabschef fordern Hitler schriftlich auf, den Krieg zu beenden, was hat noch kein anderer deutscher General gewagt hat. Einige Zeit später wird Rommel bei einem Angriff schwer verwundet. Es ist das Ende seiner Karriere.
Nach dem gescheiterten Attentat auf Hitler am 20. Juli 1944 fällt auch Rommels Name offenbar mehrfach bei den Verhören. Mitte September 1944 schließlich fällt ein Gremium, das verdächtige Offiziere aus der Wehrmacht ausschließen soll, quasi das Todesurteil gegen Rommel. Rommel entscheidet sich zum Wohle seiner bedrohten Familie für den Selbstmord und ein Staatsbegräbnis.

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Patton (George C. Scott) and his men attack and annihilate Rommel's battalion of tanks and infantry during the Tunisia campaign in Africa.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
In 1943 North Africa, George Patton (George C. Scott) assumes command of (and instills some much-needed discipline in) the American forces. Engaged in battle against Germany's Field Marshal Rommel (Karl Michael Vogler), Patton drives back "The Desert Fox" by using the German's own tactics. Promoted to Lieutenant General, Patton is sent to Sicily, where he engages in a personal war of egos with British Field Marshal Montgomery (Michael Bates). Performing brilliantly in Italy, Patton seriously jeopardizes his future with a single slap. While touring an Army hospital, the General comes across a GI (Tim Considine) suffering from nervous fatigue. Incensed by what he considers a slacker, Patton smacks the poor soldier and orders him to get well in a hurry. This incident results in his losing his command-and, by extension, missing out on D-Day. In his final campaign, Patton leads the US 3rd Army through Europe. Unabashedly flamboyant, Patton remains a valuable resource, but ultimately proves too much of a "loose cannon" in comparison to the more level-headed tactics of his old friend Omar Bradley (Karl Malden). Patton won 7 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Scott, an award that he refused.

During the Second World War, there was a German general who received a fearsome reputation as a military genius and tactician. Erwin Rommel was nicknamed, 'The Desert Fox,' by his enemies and his allies due to his wily and skilled reading of the battlefield. He was synonymous with the conflict in North Africa, being placed in charge of the Afrika Corps, and he led them with great skill. Hitler was a great admirer of Rommel, and promoted him heavily, and his victories in Africa against the Allies elevated him to a incredibly popular figure within Nazi Germany.
Erwin Rommel was then handed over control of overseeing the defence of Normandy in anticipation for an Allied Invasion, that would come during D-Day. However in 1944, during his celebrated military career and in the midst of World War 2, Rommel began to doubt the German war effort and Hitler's leadership. He began to see no way for the Germans to win the war, and tried to get Hitler to negotiate a truce with the Western Allies, however he became implicated in the July 20th Plot, (Stauffenberg Plot) to assassinate Adolf Hitler. A number of his friends grew close to the plot, and Rommel was aware of a coup to overthrow the Dictator of Nazi Germany, but was not aware that the plan resulted in the death of Hitler. He was even briefed that he would lead Germany after the removal of Hitler from power, however the plot failed.
After the Stauffenberg Plot, the Gestapo rounded up anyone linked to the failed bombing of Hitler's Wolf's Lair. During torture, Rommel's name was mentioned and he was explicitly linked. This caused a problem for Hitler, as he could not execute the incredibly popular general, so he gave Erwin Rommel three choices; defend himself in front of Hitler, face the People's Court which would have resulted in his execution by the guillotine, or take his own life. This ultimatum in a sense was Rommel's death sentence, and there was no way that he would get out of the situation alive. It was either be executed by the hand of Hitler's generals, the guillotine, or take his own life. He chose the latter, and after his death he was celebrated as a war hero still in Germany, and was given a state funeral.
Although Rommel was not explicitly executed, he certainly was offered a death sentence by Hitler and his government.
So join us today as we look at, 'The FORCED 'Execution' Of Erwin Rommel - The Desert Fox.'

Erwin Rommel ist umstritten. Er war Hitlers Lieblingsgeneral, wurde wegen seines Einsatzes im Afrikafeldzug als „Wüstenfuchs“ von Freund und Feind bewundert, war populärster Star der Nazi-Propaganda.
Bei den einen genießt er bis heute hohes Ansehen, bis heute sind Bundeswehrkasernen nach ihm benannt. Für andere war er verstrickt in einen mörderischen Krieg. Wusste er vom geplanten Attentat auf Hitler, oder war er nur ein Karriere-Soldat?
Der oft zitierte Mythos um Rommel entsteht in Libyen, das die Italiener 1941 an die Briten zu verlieren drohen. Hitler schickt Rommel zu Hilfe. Der treibt bis 1942 die Briten fast 1500 km nach Osten bis nach El Alamein, wo es zur Entscheidungsschlacht kommt. Nach zehn Tagen zieht sich Rommel gegen den Willen Hitlers zurück. Am Ende des Kampfes in Nordafrika gehen 130.000 deutsche Soldaten in Gefangenschaft.
Rommel ist nicht mit dabei. Er ist jetzt zuständig für die deutsche Verteidigung gegen eine alliierte Landung. Bei der Landung am 6.Juni 1944 ist die Überlegenheit der Alliierten erdrückend. Nach wenigen Tagen ist klar: Die Schlacht ist für die Wehrmacht verloren - und damit auch der Krieg im Westen. Rommel und sein Stabschef fordern Hitler schriftlich auf, den Krieg zu beenden, was hat noch kein anderer deutscher General gewagt hat. Einige Zeit später wird Rommel bei einem Angriff schwer verwundet. Es ist das Ende seiner Karriere.
Nach dem gescheiterten Attentat auf Hitler am 20. Juli 1944 fällt auch Rommels Name offenbar mehrfach bei den Verhören. Mitte September 1944 schließlich fällt ein Gremium, das verdächtige Offiziere aus der Wehrmacht ausschließen soll, quasi das Todesurteil gegen Rommel. Rommel entscheidet sich zum Wohle seiner bedrohten Familie für den Selbstmord und ein Staatsbegräbnis.

The North African campaign is often described as 'war without hate" due to the decency shown by the combatants to each other. But the Africa Korps committed many war crimes, most of which are unknown today, sullying its reputation and that of its illustrious commander Field Marshal Erwin Rommel.

Erwin Rommel
Erwin Johannes Eugen Rommel (15 November 1891 – 14 October 1944), popularly known as the Desert Fox, was a German field marshal (German: Generalfeldmarschall) of World War II. He earned the respect of both his own troops and his enemies.
Rommel was a highly decorated officer in World War I and was awarded the Pour le Mérite for his exploits on the Italian Front. In World War II, he further distinguished himself as the commander of the 7th Panzer Division during the 1940 invasion of France. His leadership of German and Italian forces in the North African campaign established him as one of the most able commanders of the war, and earned him the appellation of the Desert Fox. He is regarded as one of the most skilled commanders of desert warfare in the conflict. He later commanded the German forces opposing the Allied cross-channel invasion of Normandy.
Rommel is regarded as having been a humane and professional officer. His Afrika Korps was never accused of war crimes, and Allied soldiers captured during his Africa campaign were reported to have been treated humanely. Orders to kill Jewish soldiers, civilians and captured commandos were ignored. Later in the war, Rommel was indirectly linked to the conspiracy to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Because Rommel was a national hero, Hitler desired to eliminate him quietly. He forced Rommel to commit suicide with a cyanide pill, in return for assurances that Rommel's family would not be persecuted following his death. He was given a state funeral, and it was announced that Rommel had succumbed to his injuries from an earlier strafing of his staff car in Normandy.
