British Troops Good Amount
942 words
Field Marshal Erwin Rommel was one of Germany's
greatest soldiers. He was a brave and dedicated
commander who fought valiantly in World War One
and achieved mythic stature among the armies of
World War Two, and those who didnt know of him
quickly learned of his amazing feats on the
battlefield. And much like Yamamotto of Japan he
knew Germany was going to lose the war but fought
the battles all the same. Sadly though his life
would never see peace because he died in 1944 with
accusations of cons...

Morant Major Jf Thomas Character Analysis
