They were to assassinate Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, or the Desert Fox. Every one of Keyes’ men were killed or captured. Keyes’ team hadn’t even targeted the right location. Where they expected to find Rommel 250 miles behind the front lines, the Field Marshal was at the front lines with his troops.

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 he was on the wrong side of history, and how he has affected many future events. To begin on, Erwin Rommel stood out and rejected the Nazi generals that he worked with in many ways. Although, many people said he was as inhumane and hateful as the rest of the people and he was a full supporter of the Nazi religion. Erwin rommel was considered to be a rejector of the

Erwin “The Desert Fox” Rommel By SSG Randall Aki As a young boy, I would always spend a lot of time with my maternal grandfather, who served in the Army Air Corps during World War II. Listening to all his stories, one man stood out the most, Erwin Rommel. He told how Rommel moved across Africa with speed and accuracy. But if there was one thing that I remember most is that he led by example. If we are to understand this quality that he possessed, we have to understand the man and who he was.

I will provide a brief survey of the leading interpretations and methods that have been applied to the Arnolfini Portrait.

initial attacks on D-Day itself. On the German side Hitler has ordered the building of a massive Atlantic Wall to stop any Allied attackers from landing on the western seaboard, from the Kirkenes to the Pyrenees. After defeat in Africa, Field Marshall Erwin Rommel is sent to inspect and oversee the wall's completion. After seeing the horrible state of the wall Rommel worked to complete the wall as quickly as possible. He had the German and French coast of the English Channel and their beaches filled with

Jan van Eyck has been one of the more prominent early Netherlandish painters during his time. He has had many famous works, however one of his more interesting and questionable pieces is The Arnolfini Portrait. There is much to be desired in this painting by the great van Eyck.
