Erwin Johannes Eugen Rommel was a German field marshal and military theorist known as the "Desert Fox." He gained fame in both World Wars, earning the Pour le MΓ©rite in WWI and leading the Afrika Korps in WWII. Rommel wrote "Infantry Attacks" in 1937, drawing on his WWI experiences.
He was implicated in the 1944 plot to assassinate Hitler and chose suicide over trial.
Rommel's legacy remains controversial, with historians debating his relationship with Nazism, strategic abilities, and role in the assassination plot.
Despite the ambiguity surrounding his figure, Rommel continues to be regarded as a skilled military leader and tactician.
