Erwin Rommel

Erwin Rommel was a Germal General who lived from November 15th, 1891 to October 14th, 1944. His full name is Erwin Johannes Eugene Rommel and he is nicknamed Desert Fox. He was known for his skill and knowledge in desert warfare. He was a very polite and kind General compared to other Nazi Generals. When he captured soldiers in Africa, he treated them kindly compared to what you would expect a Prisoner of War to be treated and when he was told to kill all Jewish soldiers and civilians he refused the order. While he was commanding the defence of Occupied France he was thought to be involved in the July 20th plot of 1944 to kill Adolf Hitler. When he found out about this he comitted suicide.
