The Field Of Marshal Erwin Rommel

“By his achievements he won a high place amongst the great generals of history…his strategy was daring always, and he never hesitated to take the gravest risks. On the field of battle he was as energetic in attack as he was constant in defense, and his personal influence over the men whom he led was extraordinary…his surpassing ability was never more conspicuously shown than in the last hopeless stages of the contest… friends and foes alike acknowledged the purity of his motives, the virtues of his private life, his earnest Christianity, and the un-repining loyalty with which he accepted the ruin of his party.”

During his military career he established that he was an excellent tactician and respected by his troops and even his enemies.

World War Two was filled with many different leaders, who all carried different leadership tactics that supported the efforts of the war in various ways. Two leaders that had a huge impact on the outcome of the war were Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler. These two leaders were most commonly known for their negative impact on society; however, I am choosing to compare the good that these two leaders did for their country during their time in leadership.

All Quiet on the Western Front, by Erich Remarque, is a classic anti-war novel about the personal struggles and experiences encountered by a group of young German soldiers as they fight to survive the horrors of World War One. Remarque demonstrates, through the eyes of Paul Baumer, a young German soldier, how the war destroyed an entire generation of men by making them incapable of reintegrating into society because they could no longer relate to older generations, only to fellow soldiers.

The 1920’s book “All Quiet on The Western Front” by Erich Maria Remarque depicts war through the eyes of a young German soldier, Paul Baumer. As told through a collection of stories, Baumer recounts his arrival on the Western Front and his daily battle for survival amid treacherous living conditions inside the trenches. Remarque’s book reveals the harsh realities of war for both the allies and the central powers of Germany and Austria Hungary. The idea of a modernized warfront was a revolutionary idea in the face of a war. 20th century warfare now favored fighting on the defensive side, thus leading to the use of machine guns, tanks and chemical laced weaponry. All of this technology was mounted at the forefront and stretched for miles

He often faced critics some saying quote. ¨He was obsessed with the tiniest details of turnout, losing his rag if any soldier had untied shoelaces or five o'clock shadow.¨ ( Tunzelmann) He often faced people saying negative things about his leadership or how he would command his soldiers. But even with those critics he wouldn't listen to them and continue to fight in the war. To support this ¨He was well known and respected in the German high command.¨ (History.com Staff) This helps to show even when he was being faced with critics it didn't stop him, and this shows he was respected by the German high command which wasn't a common thing for Allied

Denial of the Holocaust War is a monster, consuming everything in its path, with no sense of mercy or leniency. A creature of true chaos, it thrives and feeds from the destruction of whatever it touches. Only to be continually fed by its inner demons, man, an even bigger evil than war itself. All in all in true retrospect, man is war.

World War I differed from previous wars in the essence that technological sophistication of weaponry such as artillery, poison gas and machine-guns created a vehement war with a massive number of casualties. In the novel All Quiet on the Western Front, German World War I veteran Erich Maria Remarque delineates the experiences that German soldiers face on the restless front, and the toll that the physical conditions and the mental stress take on the deterioration of the youth of each soldier battling on the terrain. Remarque’s war novel strays away from the romantic and glorifying thought of war in order to emphasize the hardships war forced upon the men who fought for their country. The weapons that are in the hands of the men on the front lines become their livelihood, and the terrain of the battle are the only things separating a common man and a man marked by the scars of war. At some point, war no longer becomes a fight between enemies from two different countries, it becomes a battle between one’s self and the urge to resist barbaric and animalistic acts when in dire situations.

Josef Dietrich’s leadership of the Sixth Panzer Army at the Battle of the Bulge revealed the characteristics of an unreliable General.

The Battle of the Bulge is considered the United State Army’s greatest victory as American soldiers withstood the full force of the German War Machine. Allied Forces faced freezing temperatures, fog, threats of espionage and battle tested German units. This victory was not without shortcomings, most notably in intelligence and subpar battlefield performances.

From a fiercely brave General, who strictly enforces customs, bravery, formalities, and success; to a General with a lighthearted-mood, down to earth attitude, a steadfast courage, and a integrity and decency to lead the nations of the world into battle; while both these legendary Generals fought on the same side, both General S. Patton and General D. Eisenhower were distinctly different Generals. This paper seeks to outline the differences and similarities between the two Generals by taking a close look at their lives, and the impacts they had on WWII.

Erwin Rommel was one of Germany’s greatest commanders. Born in Heidenheim, Germany, on 15 November 1891, Erwin Rommel was referred to as "the People 's Marshal" by his countrymen.
