Erwin Rommel, better known as «The Desert Fox», was a German Army general who served in World War I and World War II. He served under Hitler and was one of the Fürher’s most trusted and appreciated men. His tactics and sneaky but precise attacks on the enemy and his command of the tanks had earned him the title of «The Desert Fox». He is often described as an artist in his own right with the tank as his medium. He was implicated in a plot to kill Hitler, which he apparently was unaware of. Given a choice between defamation, which would lead to a painful death or taking the cyanide pill, Rommel chose the latter.
