Erwin König

The German General Erwin Rommel is an iconic figure of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime whom during his career followed the principle of fighting battles only on the condition of gaining from winning. Respected by both the Allied and Axis powers, his approach to warfare was cunning and humane, making him particularly significant in a time of oppression and malevolence. Thus, Rommel performed his duties with dignity and respect toward all soldiers alike and accordingly won the admiration and legend still

As a leader and Soldier in the United States Army, I have looked for individuals that set a benchmark to strive towards. Individuals that lead Soldiers, develop solid plans, and achieve those plans no matter the difficulty. For me, General George S. Patton Jr. is one such individual. He exemplified many defining characteristics of what it means to be a true leader of influence through his character, presence, and intellect. His discipline and unparalleled expertise in his field as a tank commander

In November 1942, Allied Forces launched a strategic operation (Operation Torch) to establish presence in North Africa. The insertion of three task forces into the North African front invaded three beaches (two west of Algiers and one east of Algiers). Operation Torch was successful; however, General Dwight Eisenhower did not achieve the strategic objective of pushing forces into Tunisia. By failing to do so, German and Italian forces activated reserve forces and built combat power in Tunisia. In

While Presenting may be a literal objectification of slaves in Walker’s work, this overarching concept can also be seen in her works Untitled and Gone. In Untitled, the young woman is depicted as naked, a common practice from slavery. During the practice, slaves were often forced to stand nude and be inspected by potential masters, as if part of a crude, human dog show. The woman in this picture seems vulnerable in a similar fashion, forced to stand in an apparently submissive state to the fully

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.      As a child, he was even tempered and was unremarkable academically and athletically. After high school, Rommel Jr. was thinking of applying to the Zeppelin works at Friederichshafen, but his father

victories or defeats. During the second world war, waged on the second largest continent in the world, there were people who literally changed the outcome of this great struggle. Two of these people were: Bernard Montgomery fighting for the allies, and Erwin Rommel, the infamous Desert Fox fighting for the axis. Montgomery saw action in the First World War as a junior officer of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment, however this ended prematurely when he was shot through the lung by a sniper. He later returned

Field Marshal Erwin Rommel was a brilliant leader who was extremely aggressive and who failed at his goal of victory in North Africa. He would be well rewarded for his many successes by German High Command who heaped promotions and wealth on Erwin Rommel for his many aggressive victories. (Source 3.)He lost because of poor logistics, superior enemy numbers, and because his Italian allies did little to improve his odds. Rommel would have been victorious with his aggressive strategy if not for logistics

prominent amidst the others: the ideas of Erwin Panofsky and Adrian Piper. It is not invalid to say that both art historians share a similar view of interpreting works of art, however, they also manage to complement one another perfectly. An integration of both Piper and Panofsky's points of view would result in an impeccable approach to delving into the minds of the artists and determining the significance of the works of art that they constructed. Erwin Panofsky introduced and labeled a tripartite

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 his mother was the daughter of a high ranking government official. (Kurowski 2010) It is not known why a man with no military family connections would be led to join the army but I believe that he was influenced by the

Introduction In February 1941, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel received command of the recently created Afrika Korps. The unit deployed to Libya in order to support the Italian Army that had recently suffered setbacks against the British forces. For the next two years, Rommel’s forces fought across the North African desert against British forces led by Generals Archibald Wavell, Claude Auchinleck, and Bernard Montgomery. The culminating point for this campaign was the two battles of El Alamein, after
