Irwin Rommel wasn't among Hilter's "Merry Men".What was he..a Boy Scout? Besides, I wasn't the poster who used the phrase "Merry Men", but thanks for fillng me in on the Desert Fox.
Erwin Rommel was highly regarded by Hitler for his successes in North Africa, and placed in charge of the Western Defenses in France, but was not considered sufficiently loyal. After the attempted assasination attempt on Hitler, he was implicated and offered suicide to protect his good name and his family.
Not hardly one of the Nazi "Merry Men".
