!!Quotes by Erwin Rommel:
->''"The art of concentrating strength at one point, forcing a breakthrough, rolling up and securing the flanks on either side, and then penetrating like lightning, before the enemy has time to react, deep into his rear."''
->''"The German soldier has astonished the world. The Italian ''Bersagliere'' has astonished the German soldier."''
!!Quotes about Erwin Rommel:
->''"He was a splendid military gambler, dominating the problems of supply and scornful of opposition [...] His ardor and daring inflicted grievous disasters upon us, but he deserves the salute which I made him [...] He also deserves our respect because, although a loyal German soldier, he came to hate Hitler and all his works, and took part in the conspiracy to rescue Germany by displacing the maniac and tyrant.''
