Not even if you make 'em all buy something first to clear your inventory?

Now why didn't we think of that?

Excellent photograph.

Studied him some. Talked to Wehrmacht Germans long dead by now about him. Extremely popular man in Germany in those days.

His leadership and command style required correctly trained troops, well motivated and obedient, with high individual initiative. That is, excellent men. Rommel had a way of making everyday troops into excellent ones. (So did Orde Wingate, James Gavin, George Patton.)

Had a lightning appreciation of the tactical situation and enemy morale. Always worked by seeing with his own eyes. No Huertgen Forest - Battle of the Somme stuff for that old boy.

Hitler was not just bloody minded but a fool.

I know this is an old thread, but it's the only one I could find searching under Pancho Villa.

I'm watching the movie Pancho Villa with Antonio Banderas, and they have him shooting a distraught widow because she's spitting on him and calling him an assassin.

Does anybody know if that really happened, or if it's a Hollyweird fiction?
