"....Rommel hated Hitler". Right. He argued for an arrest of the then incompetent dictator. Rommel knew that man wanted to see Germany utterly destroyed with him. Hitler found out. Rommel was forced to commit suicide- or they would destroy his family. This you already will know.

Just mentioning it though for others. The old socialistic government controlled Canadian T/V called the German army in Africa- The NAZI AFRIKA CORPS. Pretty convenient these phrases, being as NAZI was a political party.

I wonder what happened to the scream and cry about WMD? Ask Harry- LOL

Funny all this furor (fuerher?) about Rommel. He is looked at today in modern Germany as one of the few to stand up to Hitler, and therefore as a hero. So much so that there is a destroyer in the German navy named "Rommel" which I saw in port at Kiel some years ago. Harry could've gotten away with just the uniform, but the swastika was what pushed it over the top (imho).
