What a DUMB AND SILLY LINE FOR THIS PICTURE OF ROMMEL! Rommel was NOT someone who blindly followed Hitler! In fact, he was forced to committ suicide because he was opposed to Hitler. Rommel refused to shoot allied POW, and he also had connections to the military resistance that lead to the (failed) assassination of Hitler on July 20th 1944. Every other General Field Marshall can be called a whatever, but not Rommel.
Sorry, I didn't mean to offend all the Rommel fans out there. You are correct about Rommel, of course. Hitler had a great distrust of the officer corps of the German army and carefully selected and promoted yes men, which one of his weakness as a leader. Rommel's success in France and Africa made him popular with the German public and something a public relations issue for the Nazis.
Rommel was a brilliant commander and an honorable man. Too bad He had the worst boss!
