Bear in mind that Rommel was Hitler's favorite General, after all it was Hitler that granted Rommel the command over the 7nd Panzer in France. Also, Rommel did receive some of the latest weapons in 1943, including Tigers, after he went to Berlin in order to ask for additional support. However, the Nazis never had any idea what to do with North Africa, but Rommel's success over there were useful to downplay the problems they encountered in Russia...

Same could be said for any of the allied commanders. They were also responsible for the deaths of thousands of Axis servicemen. Does that make them any better than rommel, because they killed germans, instead of british and american servicemen? (if you awnser yes, you retarded and need to shut up.)

There are no heroes in war.

no, JP, that's crap. The Allies were defending against aggression. the Nazis & their man Rommel were the agressors. therefore, Allied Commanders did what they had to to end the war and stop Hitler's war machine from dominating Europe.

that is the very real difference between Axis & Allies. the reason why they fought.

No, but nazi germany did, and he fought for nazi germany.

Axis would be japan, italy, germany, hungary etc etc, while only the german SS were the ones killing the jews, so you can't say the axis were, because it was only a small percent of the german army who had nothing to do with the regular army, thats why Donitz was not hung for war crimes, and if given the chances rommel would not have been either.

Yeah I know so I'll edit it to Germany ;) He didn't do anything to the jews, no, but he was the one fighting for those who did.
