In the games of man, I was a pawn but what if, whilst no one was looking, I climbed the tower? I planned to eliminate the Generals, Field Marshals and Lieutenant generals who used me, a Captain, and instead of their game it would be mine. General Mahoney, a man of size and stature, ate his lunch at the same restaurant, at the same time everyday so he made it pretty easy for me. I worked
Field Marshal Erwin Rommel was the only German, Italian, Japanese commander in WW2 to be both, idolized by his men and immensely admired by his enemies. Winston Churchill the British prime mister in WWII described him as a great general “whose ardor and daring inflicted great disasters upon us”. When he was in charge of the Afrika Korps the opposing commander had to reassure his men that Rommel was not a “magician or superhuman.” Rommel was implicated in a plot to murder Hitler nd committed suicide
Field Marshal Rommel In this report I will go over Rommel's life as well as his success and downfalls. He played a major part in the German army of WW|| and made many tactical decision which resulted in victories. Early life Field Marshal Rommel was born in Heidenhiem, Germany on November 15, 1891. His mother and father were Helene von Luz and Professor Erwin Rommel. He was educated locally and showed a strong technical aptitude at an early age. Even though Rommel wanted to pursue engineering
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. After Keyes’ death, Rommel insisted he be given an honorable funeral despite his attempt on Rommel’s life. This represents Rommel perfectly as a dignified, chivalrous, and humane modern-day knight. (Young 232) Field Marshal
Field Marshal Haig: “Hero or Butcher of the Somme” I consider the field marshal as a butcher and a hero for numerous reasons. While the insinuation of Haig as a butcher ignores many positives that he possessed, the implication of him being a hero also neglects negatives that the field marshal obtains. Although the winning of the war had come at the sacrifice of a vast number of soldiers, we must not forget that the general had achieved his primary objective even if it had been accomplished in
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
John Ford’s The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) centers around the story of infamous bandit Liberty Valance’s death. Ransom Stoddard (James Stewart) reveals the little known fact that it was not he, the new-to-the West lawyer, but Western gunslinger Tom Doniphon (John Wayne) who shot Valance. A newspaper editor decides to leave Ransom’s account unpublicized. He explains, “This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.” From a historical perspective, this statement can
Federal Air Marshal, 1801 Synopsis During my tenure as a Federal Air Marshal, I have gained valuable experience while promoting confidence and protecting our nation’s transportation systems. I accomplished this as a mission status FAM performing duties as a team leader both internationally and domestically and also while assigned to various ground based positions.

Few commanders have been the subject of such debate as Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig. The son of an Edinburgh distiller, he owed some degree of his early advancement to patronage, and from command of the 17th Lancers he gained wide experience of staff duties and influence in government, serving as Haldane’s military adviser during the Liberal reforms of 1906-8: and via his marriage (to Hon. Dorothy Creapigny, maid-of-honour to both Queen Victoria and Queen Alexandra) gained entry to the court circle
“The one-room cabins looked like hog pens afterward! They had destroyed the furniture in the cabins and there were beer cans and whiskey bottles all over the place. It was hard to see”. On a lighter side, driving back to Ozark the next morning with Sheriff Lamb, Ozark Police Chief Speaks heard a loud POP! A few minutes later, he smelled something strange. “You smell that Buff?” “No, what?” “Something smells funny. Like maybe it's burning? Stop the car and let's look in the trunk!” The two opened
