How Did Rommel Become A Good Leader

ERWIN ROMMEL      Erwin Rommel Jr. was born on November 15, 1891 in Swabian. His father Erwin Rommel Sr., was a schoolmaster in Heidenheim in Wurttemberg , and Rommel's mother was Helene von Luz was a daughter of the local Regierungs-President.

Grandfather were teachers, but he chose a military career for himself is enlisting, in the German army as an officer candied in 1910. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel was one of Germans most

The 1st battle of El Alamein, which included the Australian 9th division, took place between the 10th and 27th of July 1942. While Allie losses in this battle were greater than German losses, it stopped and exhausted the Germans and forced them to regroup before they tried to advance again. The 2nd and more decisive battle of El Alamein took place on the 23rd of October. By this time the Allied forces had brought together an vast reserve of men, approximately 220 000 troops, of which 32 000 were Australian. Having intercepted German plans, the Allied forces, commanded by Sir Bernard Law Montgomery, were able to anticipate the German movements and eventually defeat them, with the battle ending on the 5th November. While the Australian troops only made up 6% of Montgomery’s forces, the suffered 20% of the casualties, with 620

Erwin Rommel was born on November 15, 1981 into a simple middle-class southern German family. Erwin Rommel would enter into military service during 1910 as an officer cadet. He saw his first action in World War I where he began to show his natural ability as a leader and start his illustrious career, which peaks during World War II. Erwin Rommel would find himself revered and respected by Hitler as one of his top generals. He would die before the defeat of Germany on October 15, 1944 and his death would be shrouded in controversy. During his military career he established that he was an excellent tactician and respected by his troops and even his enemies.

When Rommel had realised he could not win at El Alamein, he sought Hitler’s permission to withdraw his troops. Hitler had refused. Rommel disobeyed and withdrew his troops anyway. By early 1943, Axis forces had retreated to Tunisia and there, outnumbered and short on resources, and caught between the British and the Americans on all sides, they surrendered and North Africa was now in control of the allies.

The article discussed the German surprise but, somewhat expectation that the Americans, British,and Canadians were to land in Normandy and left Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in charge of analyzing the beaches, setting up land mines, poisoning the nearby water supply and fields so the opposing soldiers would not stand a chance to survive. Rommel then decided that no matter what he does the Americans, British,and Canadians could not really be stopped unless the German troops were to be at that very spot and even if that time came he would not be allowed to move his troops without the permission of Hitler. Additionally, out of the 46 infantry divisions in France seven of them were untrained soldiers that mainly consisted of really young and old men however, the other troops were filled with well trained man that were many that vere veterans from the Eastern Front. Furthermore, commander Karl Rudolf Gerd von Rundstedt division had roughly 850,000 men which 60,000 of them were Russian prisoners that volunteered to be in the war instead of jail. On the other hand, Hitler actually suspected and waited from the

Even when the desperately-needed supplies for the Afrika Korps arrived in port, they would still be hundreds of kilometres away from the front. The only two large capacity ports in the North African theatre were in Tripoli in Axis-held Western Libya, and Alexandria in British-held Egypt, a distance of close to 1900 kilometres. The pendulum-esque front of the African campaign meant that offensives “did not simply take you away from your railhead; they took you entire time zones from it. Supply became not just a problem but the problem”. The further East that Rommel pushed away from Tripoli, the longer his supply lines stretched, and the less dangerous he became. Conversely, in Egypt, the Allied forces were fighting with their supply lines at their backs, and once Rommel’s advance ran out of steam at El Alamein, the fully-stocked Allies drove them off the continent. Thus, Rommel’s decision to ignore Hitler’s orders of defending Libya, and instead attempt to seize Egypt - whether it was in the pursuit of glory, or a

Hitler was born in Austria in 1889. In 1933 to 1945, he was chancellor of Germany, filling in as despot for the greater part of his time in power. The also became the leader of Nazi Germany. He started rightist strategies that prompted to World War II. He brought on the passings of no less than 11 million individuals, including the mass murder of an expected 6 million Jews. His approaches accelerated World War II and prompted to the genocide known as the Holocaust, which brought about the passings of somewhere in the range of 6 million Jews and another 5 million

Adolf Hitler, byname Der Führer, (1889-1945) born in Braunau am Inn, Austria, on April 20,1889. Was one the most powerful and infamous dictators of the 20th Century. The fourth child of Alois Schickelgruber and Klara Hitler. Two of his siblings died of diphtheria when they were children, and one died shortly after birth. He was moody,lazy, and had a unstable

Rommel was the most unfortunate general in history. Despite of his ability, he couldn’t win a victory in the battle with Montgomery, Rommel’s rival (ohmynews, 2017). Rommel had his army’s supportive supply on move intercepted by the ally forces and, to make matters worse, Hitler didn’t accede to Rommel’s request to withdraw. Indeed, after Rommel was defeated, he gradually lost his reputation as The Desert Fox. Furthermore, he was suspected as traitor and finally forced to commit suicide after the fact that he contacted with the conspirators emerged. Even though Rommel was suspected as traitor, he was not a traitor in the sense that the conspirators didn’t request Rommel to assassinate Hitler; there was no decisive evidence of his betrayal; Rommel believed assassinating Hitler would bring about civil war.

Defense campaigns and establishment of air superiority by the Allies played a key role in changing the course of the European theater of World War II. In North Africa, the RAF bombed and defeated German commander Erwin Rommel and prevented him from reaching the vital Suez Canal, which would have gave the Germans access to the Indian Ocean. British aircraft fired their rockets, attacking German artillery and enemy transports. A German Panzer Commander described the failure of his counterattack against aircraft and said, "…they [the Spitfires, Typhoons, and Mustangs] came in hundreds, firing their rockets at the concentrated tanks and vehicles. We could nothing against them and we could make no further progress." In addition to defense on land, the

Erwin Rommel was born on Nov. 15, 1891 in Heidenheim, Germany. His father was a teacher and his mother was the daughter of a senior official. He wanted to study engineering and find a career with the Zeppelin Company but his father didn’t want that for him. In 1910 Rommel joined the German infantry and fought as a lieutenant in WWI and chose to remain there until the end of the war. In 1938 he was appointed commandant of the officers school in Wiener Neustadt which is near Vienna. In feb. 1940 Rommel was named commander of the 7th Panzer division and the next year he was appointed commander of German troops in North

Rommel aka “Desert Fox” The man best known as the Desert Fox was born 15 November 1891 to parents Erwin Rommel Senior and Helen von Lutz who named their son Erwin Johannes Eugene Rommel. Rommel’s family was not a military one, his father like his father before him were teachers while

Never one for the political stage, Erwin was a soldier’s General. He much preferred living with the troops then above them. He was however, deeply connected to the Nazi party, which helped propel his military career. Early in the political party’s development, Rommel admired Hitler. Later, he sees the true evil that Hitler is capable of while serving in Poland and Africa.

With the men surrounding you performing atrocious acts would you stand out from the crowd, would you refuse the orders of your superiors for the greater good of your men. This is how Erwin Rommel, a Nazi general, stood out from the people around him, became a hero even though
