"Kevin Brooks" wrote in message ...
"robert arndt" wrote in message om... Which pale beside his achievements. Montogomery like Patton was a prima-donna, a pain in the arse and an excellent field commander. Like all generals he made mistakes but got things more right than wrong. Keith And Rommel was better than both of them combined. If only he had the resources in men and material that the US/Britain possessed... or at least the Heer's PROMISED material from Berlin and not had to babysit the Italians! One might also wonder what would have happened if Hitler had listened to Guderian as well??? The repetitive "If"...the continuing mantra of those who cannot accept the fact that Germany screwed the pooch in WWII and lost. Or better those morons like you that cannot accept the fact that Germany is the size of just 1 US state and took on the world and was winning half the time. Then after defeat, your VICTORIOUS and SUPERIOR armies raped the entire German nation for all of its technology ensuring postwar victories without any real effort on your part to develop them yourself... in areas so unimportant as say... aviation and space technology... just to name two! As much as I respect Rommel, wasn't he the guy who commanded the losing side at Normandy, having taken a quick getaway trip back to see his family when the invasion began because he thought there was no *way* the allies would attack in that kind of weather...? Read a f**king history book Brooks. It was Rommel who inspected the Atlantic Wall and criticized its lack of any strategic depth. He made a short but futile attempt to rectify parts of the wall realizing that the armored reserves would be needed in the first 48 hrs to throw the invaders back from Normandy. Hitler refused to allow Rommel to move them closer to the coast. And criticizing a man of such dignity that he chose to take poison to save his family and not dishonor his nation (Germany, not Hitler nor the Nazi Party) is repugnant even for a ******* like you. Rommel wanted the war to end and Hitler dead as Hitler was to him a greater threat to Germany than the Allies. WTF more do you want from the guy? He is a true hero for mankind, a man of honor respected by friend and foe alike. You Brooks, OTOH, are a jackass. Rob p.s. Can't wait for the two pinheads to chime in too- Keith Willshaw and Al Minyard. Brooks Rob |
