My 11th grade social studies teacher was a fan of Erwin Rommell.

Rommel supposedly took part in the conspiracy to kill Hitler in 1944—and was forced to commit suicide as a result. If so, he deserves to be on the list.

Relatively speaking, Rommel was mediocre.
The Eastern Front Generals did most of the Reich’s heavy lifting and lasted, despite Hitler’s interference, for a remarkably long time...

Rommel was basically a corps commander.
