Field Marshal Erwin Rommel of Germany (1891-1944)

German commander Erwin Rommel was famed for his warmongering prowess during World War 2. Because of his unexpected strikes, he even earned the moniker "the Desert Fox." Rommel was born in Germany on November 15, 1891, and his family supported his decision to enlist. He joined the German military in 1910 and served as a lieutenant during World War 1. He had the opportunity to demonstrate his bravery and persistence during the Second World War. In 1940, he served as the Afrika Korps' commander-general for North America. Erwin Rommel was the most renowned German general in the eyes of the Allies. Because of how well-liked he was, Field Marshal Montgomery had to admonish his soldiers to stop praising Rommel.

During the war against France, this brilliant commander became well-known. He led from the front at the Battle of Sedan, giving him a superior understanding of the battlefield conditions. He had a natural aptitude to spot chances, and he would seize them using his inherent military talents. He seldom erred when he took chances.

Rommel served as the commander of the Afrika Korps, an organization created to relieve pressure on the Italians in North Africa. Rommel sprung into action on the battlefield with bold and quick maneuvers that his soldiers even managed to capture the Supreme British Commander General O'Connor. The North African desert provided Rommel with the ideal terrain for his strategies because of his experience as a tank commander.

Rommel repeatedly outwitted the Allied forces and inflicted exorbitantly high fatalities in the battle for North Africa, but finally, the tide turned against the Germans. The Afrika Korps, who were outnumbered and outgunned by the Allied troops, were left to fend for themselves as supplies ran over and Hitler concentrated all of his attention on the Soviet Union. After being discovered to have been a part of the conspiracy to assassinate Hitler, Rommel poisoned himself.
