Erwin Johannes Eugen Rommel, the most famous German Field Marshal of World War II, was the commander of the German Afrika Korps and went by the nickname "The Desert Fox". He was later in command of the German forces opposing the Allied cross-channel invasion of Normandy. He is thought by many to have been one of the most skilled commanders in desert warfare from World War II.
Rommel's military successes earned the respect not only of his troops and Adolf Hitler, but also that of allied forces in North Africa. Following the defeat of Axis forces in North Africa, and while commanding the defense of Occupied France, his fortunes changed when he was suspected of involvement in the failed plot in 1944 to kill Adolf Hitler and was forced to commit suicide.
