but he didn't write the book that was read by Patton and Allied tank commanders that helped defeat Germany.
I'm assuming your talking about his book???

"Field Marshal Erwin Rommel exerted an almost hypnotic influence not only over his own troops but also over the Allied soldiers of the Eighth Army in World War II. Even when the legend surrounding his invincibility was overturned at El Alamein, the aura surrounding Rommel himself remained unsullied. In this classic study of the art of war, Rommel analyzes the tactics that lay behind his success. First published in 1937, it quickly became a highly regarded military textbook and also brought its author to the attention of Adolph Hitler. Rommel was to subsequently advance through the ranks to the high command in World War II. Though most people immediately connect Rommel with the African campaigns of World War II, he made his initial legendary giant steps during the First World War. In this 1935 title, he recalls his greatest battles, outlines how he won them, and provides his strategies on the use of armor in the field lessons ultimately used by Patton and other Allied tank commanders to defeat him."
well, now we'll never know, it's hard to imagine how things would've turned out even knowing what they would have done, you've got to consider what our side would have done also, for every action, there's a reaction, I believe Rommel's mistake was writing a book on tank strategies, actually giving his plans to the enemy.
woulda, shoulda coulda, too many crystal balls around here and everyone knows exactly what Hitler and his Generals were thinking and what they should have done,
a movie that is just too damn depressing and grim is a bad film, but for me it was saving private Ryan, especially when he tried to shoot the tank with his pistol, it reminded of Billy Bronco when the Indian trying to rob a train shot an arrow at it when it was doing 80 miles an hour
I was debating watching John Wick b/c Keanu as an actor is sometimes good and sometimes not,
now I think I have to watch it to see how bad it is, sometimes I like to torture myself, lol

They could've won the war if hitler should've listen to his generals,not postboned operations,even Stalingrad had no strategic importance.He only attack that city only because it had the name of his enemy...even the japanes could've won the war also,but there's a saying..."history is full of miss oportunities".

There's another saying my father taught me, "IF the dog didn't stop to shit, he would have won the race"
Popcorn, I don't know what his thinking is but to say that Germany won the war is asinine, and he had better stop smoking that chit.
Biff whether you wrote that or read it somewhere, that whole scenario is nothing but supposition, belief, conjecture, speculation, it never happened, If Hitler had won, nobody knows what that maniac would have done,
The bomb worked in Japan, it would have definitely worked in Germany, USA had the power and they used it, if needed they would have used it again, the second part is only my assumption but the first part is fact, I think you are assuming way way way too much if that nut won the war, which was impossible in the first place, not with the power of Russia and the USA joining in the war
not in ten years Biff, if Germany was successful in its ambitions, Enola Gay would have had something to say about that.
agreed
I am in the music business, and I remember my very learned music professor telling me, "never change a pop arrangement unless you can make it better" that's not what happen to Supergirl, but what I don't understand is why do the investors go along with these idiotic ideas, are they that stupid?
2 gay guys kissing on a ship, that should sell, I'll bet there will be hundreds of people that will watch that show,
and Supergirl, I don't blame the writers for trying to go politically correct and making the white bumbling Jimmy Olsen a black super smart guy with the hots for Supergirl, I blame the idiots who invested in that turkey, then again, maybe they needed the write off.
mint berry's rationing is that it took Germany less time to clean up the devastation than it took England,
I came in last when I raced in the Indy 500 but I feel I won the race because I used less gas than the winner,
that's pretty close to his way of thinking.
I was on a farm once, cows, chickens, pigs and horses, what a stench, it's like living in an outhouse, no thanks,
me?
I put it in the wrong place and deleted it, Sherlock
