I have a slightly different take in that I think the victim showed true humanity as people of other religions and beliefs have done similar. BUT it certainly goes to show that Muslims are generally no different to us heathens. What he tried to do, took a lot of courage and conviction.Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feldmarschall Erwin Rommel ignored the dictate to separate jewish POWs for "special treatment," despite being a devout Nazi. Somehow, that still leaves me shy of a warm, fuzzy feeling regarding the bulk of the movement (Godwin, I know...).

Was not even known to be a large advocate of national socialism. Am i wrong? I'd like to stress i get your point. Just making a historical comment. Not a Nazi or Rommel lover. I studied military science in college and was not taught that Rommel was as you described. a Nazi or devout national socialist."The point is, I'm weird, but I never felt weird."

I studied military science in college and was not taught that Rommel was as you described. a Nazi or devout national socialist. Erwin Rommel owed a great deal of his success to the Nazi Party and his personal relationship to Adolph Hitler. He was lionized by Josef Goebbels, and later by the Allies when they defeated him (it always looks better if your opponent is viewed as the Varsity, whether you win or lose - but particularly if you win). Though brilliant in many regards, he tended to gloss over critical details. For one thing, he put a Major in charge of logistics for a Corps, and the resulting lack of materiel was an Achilles' heel to his efforts in North Africa. He was viewed by the High Command as being a Nazi syncophant, since rising to his level of command without a "von" in one's name was rather unlikely until the bully boys from Bayern took over. Thus, though he was Wehrmacht rather than Schutzstaffel, his adherence to the NSDAP was a matter of record. BSBD, Winsor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess i dont believe because he was a nazi syncophant he was a true believer in national socialism. he could have just been sucking up to his boss's for a larger role in his chosen profession. after all, it was a one party town so he would have to please the Nazi's to move up in the Army. sucking up to the social democrates wouldnt get him anywhere. I read you loud and clear, fyi. your argument is totally valid and i'm being a bit pedantic. maybe deep down i do kinda admire him as military man. seeking to distant him from his earlier workings with the party. like being in charge of security at rallies. I am an ex Infantry officer and we studied his book. i dont want anyone to think im a closet nazi lover, though."The point is, I'm weird, but I never felt weird."
