Alright. I´m a Rommel fan, because he fought bravely and fair although for an evil regime. And my Grandpa was in Rommel´s staff... thus my anger. Hope, I wasn´t too harsh.

I was stationed in Neckarsulm for 18 months when Manfred Rommel was the mayor of Stuttgart. The U.S. barracks in Stuttgart was on Rommelstaße, of course. You are correct, Rommel was an honorable man, who served his country without any stain on his character. Like many Americans and English, I have always admired Rommel, but the incongruity of Israel being defended by German troops naturally evokes humor.

It is important to note that What Rommel's heroics were all about was preparing the way for murder by concentration camp, murder of children, murder by gas, and hiding the remnants by way of gas ovens.
As commander of Hitler's headquarters during the polish invasion, Rommel deserves a full share of what ever guilt there is in starting wars of agression to prepare the conditions for mass murder.
Rommel accepted every promotion from Hitler, and supported his agression. Even when it became clear that all was to set the conditions for murder, he still fought for the murderous regime against the democracies.
