Good point. He may have not contributed to the offensive. Apparently, he had a skull fracture. But in a pinch, he might have been brought into the action.


Rommel said he would have fought against the Russians because he knew how terrible they were but he was not willing to go back on active duty to fight the Americans and British.

He passed away about 15 years ago. So I never met him. His daughter is quite proud of him and the life he led. He worked at Rockwell after the war and did some significant jet propulsion projects. He sounded like a brilliant man who was at the forefront of a lot of cool stuff.

Thank you for the additional info. Like so many of his generation, he contributed to American greatness.
