About Erwin Rommel

Erwin Johannes Eugen Rommel (15 November 1891 – 14 October 1944) was a German Field Marshal and commander of the Deutsches Afrika Korps in World War II, widely referred to as The Desert Fox (Der Wüstenfuchs). Linked to a conspiracy to assassinate Adolf Hitler, he was ordered to commit suicide with a cyanide pill, in return for assurances that his family would not be persecuted following his death.

Additional quotes by Erwin Rommel

Winning the men's confidence requires much of a commander. He must exercise care and caution, look after his men, live under the same hardships, and — above all — apply self discipline. But once he has their confidence, his men will follow him through hell and high water.
