Erwin Rommel Desert Fox WW II German Commander War Dated Autograph 1942 Display

Description: Erwin Johannes Eugen Rommel [1891 1944] popularly known as the Desert Fox was a German Field Marshal of World War II. Rommel began his military career in 1911 and was a highly decorated officer during World War I. During World War II Rommel distinguished himself as a commander of the 7th Panzer Division during the 1940 invasion of France and earned the nickname ''Desert Fox'' for his leadership of German and Italian forces in the North African campaign in which he repeatedly forced back British and American assaults. In 1944 Adolf Hitler appointed Rommel as the commander of German forces positioned to oppose any Allied cross-channel invasion of the French coast. In October of 1944 Rommel was linked to a conspiracy to assassinate Adolf Hitler but because of his status as a national hero Hitler eliminated him by secretly forcing him to commit suicide with cyanide pills in return for assurances that his family would be safe. Field Marshal Rommel was given a state funeral and it was announced that he had died from injuries received from an earlier strafing of his staff car in Normandy by Allied planes. Listed for auction is a stunning display which contains a authenticated war dated [DS] document signed by Field Marshal Erwin Rommel. The document was typed while the Field Marshal commanded the Afrika Korps and is dated 10 Oktober 1941.
