Erwin Rommel
Erwin Rommel (1891-1944) If there is The Art of War in the East, then there is Rommel's Infantry Tactics in the West. This book is a military tactics book written by Erwin Rommel (1891-1944), also known as the Desert Fox, based on his experience of decimating enemy division troops with a company-sized tank force. Filled with reality more dramatic than a movie, it gained immense popularity and became a bestseller as soon as it was published. Even now, when people think of tanks, they think of Rommel.
The various strategies and tactics he employed during World War II, including tank warfare, have earned him the reputation of a versatile performer on the stage of war. That's why Rommel is also called the entertainer of war. This is not meant to glorify war. It is a gesture of respect for Rommel, who sacrificed himself for love and humanism even in unavoidable circumstances.
During World War II, there were three legendary heroes who delivered immortal battles. They are Rommel of Germany, Bernard Montgomery of Britain, and George S. Patton of the United States. The battles they fought were a source of great interest for people at the time. Due to the strategies and tactics deployed on the battlefield, they each received a nickname. Rommel was the Desert Fox, Montgomery was the Old Fox, and Patton was the Young Lion. A movie titled "The Great Three Warriors" was made featuring these heroes, and among them, a US movie focusing on Rommel was titled "The Desert Fox: The Story of Rommel".
When thoughts abound, courage diminishes. Moderate thinking brings wisdom, but excessive thinking ultimately makes one a coward; it's not thinking, but rather, it's just rambling. Don't think the world has abandoned you. The world never had you. Venture, but gamble not.
