Whatever the hubbub about how much Rommel hankered after 'war with honour', Rommel is still the tragic scion of a primitive scientific age that on one hand praises any number of scientific experiments on animals and then runs around flailing its hands in the air when the exclusivist content of that pseudo-science falls upon the heads of the human beings who designed it to REQUIRE experimental subjects for its propagation.  Rommel is certainly one of those who would be in awe of the advancements of medical science for the fact of animal experiments and as such was predisposed to bear down in favour of human experimentation had He and Hitler lived and Germany been undefeated.

It is amusing to read Eurasian's ringing obituary to Rommel, and to contemplate the somewhat different terms in which he would describe Alfons Rebane, who is described in Wikipedia and elsewhere as Estonia's Rommel (read up on it there for yourself).

Th e difference is, that Rommel honourably fought the Western Allies in Africa and elsewhere, while Rebane honourably fought his country's Stalinist invaders.

Jus t before Eurasian starts venting steam, I point out that even the KGB found no evidence confirming any accusations of war crimes against Rebane or his army unit. His only "crime" was that he was just too successful at fighting the Red Army. Russia has never forgiven him or Estonia for that. And, I suspect, neither has Eurasian.

Iron Outlaw (unregistered) wrote in #3 Rommel was a loyal German soldier.  He was also a loyal German citizen. He wanted what was best for his Fatherland. He did not become a traitor, he wanted to stop the insane war that Hitler had started and save many Germans' and others' lives.  Whilst he was beholden to Hitler for creating the circumstances that allowed him his progression and promotion in the Army he saw that the war would achieve nothing of value for Germany, win or lose, and at that stage Germany was losing. Rommel was a man of honour.  Remember the Federal German Navy had a Charles F Adams class Destroyer named Rommel.  In Germany Rommel is still regarded as a man of honour as he was by so many of his opponents. Rommel and several other honourable German soldiers were men of their time.  Who is to say how each one of us would have acted under silmilar circumstances.  Would any of us have had the guts to stand up to and defy the powerful Nazi regime?  I wonder!     � �         � �         � �         � �         � �         � �         � �         � �         � �         � �         � �         � �         � �         � �         � �         � �         � �         � �         � �         � �         � �         � �        @And so was Stalin for rejecting to exchange his son (major) for 10 German generals prisoners. The WWII was the last honourable war fought, since that time on the Zionists SCUM Churchill-Eisenhower changed everything although signed with Stalin the Geneva Convention (see  my previous comments in this article). Those who really had the right to make the Nurnberg trial were the Europeans and NOT the American clowns. Just as their ICTY kangaroo “court” but the joined war crimes court of all former Yugoslavian republics, which verdict contradict quite seriously with “the findings” of this ICTY complete charade.
