So sad; Erwin Rommel was not only a brilliant military tactician but a very honorable military leader. Thank you Jerry for another wonderful documentary 😊
My Dad was a 30 year Officer in The USAF with 21 of those service years as a Pilot. He was a huge Historian of other Nation's and especially of their Military. He often said that Marshall was the equivalent of General Patton on the battlefield. Dad always believed IF Rommel had been able to serve under anyone else but Hitler, the outcome of WW2 "might" have been different, at least from the African Continent War perspective. Rommel many times showed his humanistic qualities as a Solider and Leader to his men and colleagues. Brilliant Story Mr. Skinner and as always I appreciate your time, effort and story telling that you share lovingly with your Fan Base! Proud To Ride In The Jerry Skinner Posse! Cheers From Ohio
My dad was an enlisted man during WW II. He always said that the Germans almost beat us (the allies). Had the Generals been able to divest themselves of Hitler sooner, WW II may have had a different outcome. We would all be speaking Deutsche (German).
What a truly amazing story. Rommel never joined the Nazi party. He valued the life of his troops and also of the men they captured. What an outstanding human being and a formidable General. Thank you for doing this outstanding documentary. It is both captivating and compelling. My uncle fought in Tunisia while serving in the Army during WW11.
I see Erwin Rommel as a conflicted and almost troubled man. Yes, he had a brilliant military mind but his own integrity in the midst of WWII certainly didn't endear him with his superiors. However, his devotion to his men even as he knew the German cause in the war was going to be lost made him revered by those who entered his circle. Patton, Churchill, and Montgomery deeply respected him as a soldier and as a man.
You have to wonder why his men did not support him were they so afraid of the madpower hungry monster hitler who will for ever be remebered as a murderous racist because he was told he could not paint as an artist by a jewish critic who knew what he was talklngabout
No! I disagree with some of your blanket statements; it’s more like Rommel along with other honorable Germans who were white frequently from upper class circles didn’t like Hitler. And that is why Stauffenberg was supported in his attempt to get rid of Hitler. In fact there were more than 2 dozen serious attempts to assassinate Hitler.
That is a great documentary Jerry! I've seen several Rommel documentaries over the years, yours is the best. I appreciate all of your work over the years - thanks for bringing it to us!
What an amazing docu! Wow! It's both amazing and disgusting the volume of historical facts that have been hidden and perverted through time. Thanks for another excellent presentation, Jerry!
I have an older friend from Clifton TN last name Patrick whose father (probably born in 1900) met Rommel there at the Clifton hotel on the Tennessee river prior to ww2). He was in the area studying the tactics of Nathan Bedford Forest. He was quoted as saying a “man who could do with tanks what Forest did with mounted cavalry” and I don’t remember the rest of the quote!
That’s an awesome fact..Stonewall and Nathan are .. in my mind two of the most honorable men.. Jeff davis.. A sold out narcissistic psychopathic high Treason bastard.,, proved true when that treacherous Davis commanded stonewall NOT to conquer and TAKE Washington DC... and end the War.. then and there., Study Eric Jon Phelps to learn how the Jesuits were involved to destroy the south. Nearly every union General was Catholic.., one CAN NOT study any history with out finding Jesuits.. 1534... financed by London gold.. establishment September 28..1540 by Pope Paul 3th... forget about un agenda 21..,20-30... it’s the 500 year mark of the most awesome military organization in all history 1540 to 2040... I wonder what Yeshua Jesus Christ will do with them... for they have nothing to do with our Savior,, and their mission statement is to kill all heretical non Catholics..
I have enjoyed watching many of your biographies, they are all written succinctly and with a warm regard to the subject and the times they lived through. Thanks for producing and posting, it's great work you are doing.
@Ken Kausse, Is that true? Do you mean the 2 families had/have combined family reunions? That would be amazing amd a great tribute to both men that the families still are treating them as great honorable warriors who happen to be pitted against each other for a while.
Awesome Jerry, this is a fantastic history lesson. So many things I learned. I watched the movie with James Mason who played Rommel which was great. Awesome Documentary my friend, please keep em coming. Augie and Jill Blase. Winter Springs , Florida. 32708🤠
I didn’t know this either. But it doesn’t surprise me. The American Civil War was studied closely in Europe and the UK. Officers such as Lee, Stuart, Jackson - even soldiers such as the partisan Turner Ashby were familiar names there. Jackson was revered here in the US but even more so across the pond. So it follows that such a brilliant tactician as Forrest would be well-known to such a student as Rommel.
Mr. SKINNER, Just another very well researched and very well presented vlog. Please use your expertise and do a vlog on Rosa Parks. Again you have that golden southern accent that is so soothing to listen to.
erwin rommel is the perfect example of a regular german soldier of the time brave honnorfull devoted but also in conflict with himself, knowing full well that things are happening that do not comply with the sacred german soldier honnor
Having had family in the SS, who served as an officer, and was tried and hung in Nuremberg for his crimes, this topic is always a delicate one to breach. Separating the man’s intellect from his political leanings is not always easy. Rommel is an exception. He shines through as a brilliant General. One can only wonder how many lives would have been spared had the assassin succeeded.
I Thank you kindly my good Sir for amazing informative stories on History and learning more and more about all the interesting people back in the black and white days. P.s 💌 I send a BIG Hello from DUBLIN, ☘️ IRELAND. 🤗 💙💚.
Wish they would make a Das Boot like movie 🎥 about Erwin Rommel as well. No woke and no political correct/Hollywood/garbage 🗑 crap 💩 No no.. a realistic Das Boot like with German speaking actors in the roles. Could be amazing 🤩
Rommel was a brilliant tactician, a great soldier, and a great officer. He was a true leader in every sense of the word. But his downfall was solely due to the fact that Hitler was in power over Germany.
An old fella borrowed a book to me , it was named the desert Fox. When I returned this he preceded to tell me how he was captured by the Dessert Fox. Their Tanks were just to thick they had nothing that could stop them other that a track shot or a mine in the right spot ( track) Very well respected by him as a prisoner also. When The Fox meet him and other prisoners he shook their hands and asked if they had eaten breakfast wich he and other prisoners said no they hadn't had breakfast , so The Fox turned to his men and said feed these Lads will you. To his Soldiers dismay.
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE DESERT FOX....NO MATTER WHAT...!!! A VERY SKILLED OFFICER.....WHO WAS RESPECTED BY ALL BRITISH ARMY OFFICERS, EVEN INTO TODAY'S WORLD 🌎
Your mini-documentry is fantastic. It brought tears to my eyes to realize how stupid people really are. Rommel was a great man. The world has a way of taking our best and chewing them up and spitting them out.
As opposed to Stalin, the Allies best friend that murdered some 40 million+ Russians as well as millions from other ethnicities and starved to death millions more. Or Churchill who starved to death more than 4 million, with millions more dying from malnutrition related illnesses in the 1943 Bengal Famine. Churchill even stopped Australian ships from distributing grain on their way past. Not to mention the war crime that was "De-Housing" resulting in the deaths of millions of children or the Dresden Holocaust just to name a few of the great deeds by the right team.
@@Berserkism Jesus, I just meant he seemed conflicted but still stayed on the wrong side of things. He seemed to understand war like all the main players do. I never said he was a great man or a hero. I come from Jewish stock on my fathers side. I found him to be a contradiction. In a way he disobeyed orders and cared to save lives of men who were destroying others lives and it makes no sense. Sorry you misunderstood ..
Love history. One passion is WII because ever male member of that generation of my family served 'front line' or died in the 'front line' in Europe and Asia. Favour archives as I time travel but spent much energy pursuing 'war veterans' (of all sides on matters related to escape & evasion) through out the last 80's & early 2,000 when most died off. One truth I have learned is that Nazis existed as 'politicians' with many followers and 'small town' mayors the worst of all, but the vast majority of Germans were not Nazi and were in fact decent human beings doing what they could to be patriotic, 'sans politics'. Captured airmen (have lots their archive files & personal accounts) repeat a constant story. How the common German military acted decently and bravely protected then from 'excited' mobs on their way stirred up by politicians at bombed out RR stations on their ways to the Stalags. As it happened I early on stumbled on a long forgotten 'false' Abewhr escape line in Antwerp, Belgium. One agent of theirs (Rene Van Muylem aka ' Donald, aka Robert') penetrated a genuine Belgian a patriot group with a very proud 'Comete' Line background, became a 'Right-Hand' Man to the leader and proceeded to ensure the arrest of 177 airmen. He spoke English well having served as a ship barber in the decade before the war. An honest honest man he was he confessed it was only 176 airmen when given a 'Special Abwehr' award before he left on holiday at the beginning of August 1944 (most of whom I have studied in detail). A close friend of a VIP resistance lady, Yvonne Rahier (SOE Mail box Antwerp-Brussels), I corresponded with for a full decade (made heir to some of her papers & photos) told me Rene knew much about her SOE activity because she fully trusted him. She was a witness 'against' him at his trial. Curiously, he never betrayed Yvonne or her other organization, because as he stated at his trial, 'My business was airmen only'. Believe he had a grudge because the RAF destroyed two of his Barber shop businesses early in the war). He never betrayed any of the patriots who helped him in evasion except the one ( a brave good fellow) who was about to try to kill him. None-the-less had bad luck. Tried and convicted he was executed in 1947. Had his court date been a year later he would have survived the 'vengeance' period and been a very interesting man to chat with. I'm sorry they killed him.
I seemed to miss Rommel's most important operation in Egypt and his robbery of some Jewish loot, his submarine tour in Egypt. He had a large gold bullion store for his payroll that has never been located. Hitler was mocked for his top 8 generals mysteriously dying in a short period of time. There is no honor among thieves.
He was no puppet, but he had too choose for others too live at the end, Nazies did not recognize him as a hero, he was used for his talent and discarded. Never again we said after ww2, and now Putin is banging on our backdoor. Great video again Mr Skinner thnx.
It's American interference, aggression and corruption in an area they don't belong, yet again, that is responsible for the current conflict. Take responsibility for your war mongering nation. The Soviet boogeyman doesn't exist anymore, stop watching so much Hollyweird for history lessons.
he aint banging on nobodies door where was the world when america invaded iraq? where was it when isreael murdered so many civilians ? putin doesnt want to conquer all of europe nor does he want t o have another soviet union hes a conservative who uses the russians in ukraine ( who do have the majority in the east ) to keep himself in power for longer hes "taking them home"
Its all baloney ! It ended up in a two front battles with the British and America fighting in North Africa.The large surrender of Africa Corps were needed in Europe . All the best folks .
General Rommel was one of the Greatest Generals in History. Love hearing stories about Him.
Excellent documentary! I met the Canadian pilot who strafed Rommel's staff-car in 1944, Charlie Fox.
So sad; Erwin Rommel was not only a brilliant military tactician but a very honorable military leader. Thank you Jerry for another wonderful documentary 😊
I really like the fact that Romel had no political aspiration.
Great story. Is it me but Jerry voice is soothing and you story telling and narration is freaking awesome. Thanks for doing these. Keep it up.
Jerry's voiceovers have long been legendary amongst his subscribers!
General Rommel was one of the Greatest Field Marshall in History. Love hearing stories about Him.
Now I can understand why Winston Churchill highly respected the Desert Fox because of Jerry's amazing documentary
Churchill admired Rommel. Why? Rommel detested Hitler and made the effort, albeit unsuccesful, to tear the fascist Hitler down
My Dad was a 30 year Officer in The USAF with 21 of those service years as a Pilot. He was a huge Historian of other Nation's and especially of their Military.

Your Dad is absolutely right. The whole war would have had a very different outcome not only in Africa
@@KAMRAMNAThat's true. And the world would not have seen so many unnecessary wars like Corea, Vietnam and Iraq 24:44
What a truly amazing story. Rommel never joined the Nazi party. He valued the life of his troops and also of the men they captured. What an outstanding human being and a formidable General.
Thank you for doing this outstanding documentary. It is both captivating and compelling. My uncle fought in Tunisia while serving in the Army during WW11.
This man literally wrote the book on tank warfare; a true military genius.
I beleive you are thinking of Heinz Guderian
One of the if not the greatest military minds ever!
The price of liberty is often death. Rommel paid the price. I LOVE your diversifying from Hollywood to History. Fantastic!
Written with the usual brilliance, excellent, concise and entertaining.
I see Erwin Rommel as a conflicted and almost troubled man. Yes, he had a brilliant military mind but his own integrity in the midst of WWII certainly didn't endear him with his superiors. However, his devotion to his men even as he knew the German cause in the war was going to be lost made him revered by those who entered his circle. Patton, Churchill, and Montgomery deeply respected him as a soldier and as a man.
I agree. Had he survived the war, I believe he would have received a very light sentence at Nuremberg, if any.
You have to wonder why his men did not support him were they so afraid of the madpower hungry monster hitler who will for ever be remebered as a murderous racist because he was told he could not paint as an artist by a jewish critic who knew what he was talklngabout
Kinda reminds me of the respect paid to the Red Barron.
No! I disagree with some of your blanket statements; it’s more like Rommel along with other honorable Germans who were white frequently from upper class circles didn’t like Hitler.

ROMMEL. Just the Name stirs up alot of images and emotions!! Mr Skinner. Thank you
And despotism reigns still throughout the world. Honor and integrity are a rarer commodity today. Thanks Jerry.
Thank you for this awesome episode. Many great men served for wrong leaders. Greetings from Cologne / Germany.

I find it fascinating that Rommel was here in Tennessee studying the tactics of the great General Forrest... two great men of the battlefield.
Very good story. This is someone my grandma had talked about.
Fantastic Bio Jerry, as WW2 buff, I hope you do more of these.
Quite an interesting story,Top Shelf as always...Many Thanks Jerry.
Thank you for this piece of history.
Outstanding documentary…
Rommel also won the Pour Le Merite (Blue Max) for his infantry leadership in WW1.
Great job on this one Jerry. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Please do more like this.
Great video Jerry, one of the true military genius’s in WW 2.

Another gem from Jerry. Long life to you sir, we really love your videos!
War is so devastating. Very interesting good content. I appreciate your time and effort making this video. Thank you very much.
Thank you Jerry! 🌹
Thank you Mr.Skinner. Excellent as always. From Ireland.
Mr. Skinner. I enjoy your docs very much. Thank you. From a Canadian friend to the North.
Interesting! Thanks again Jerry.
Probably the only one out of that dirty bunch that you could call a true military man of honour .
He did not deserve such an end .
Thank you! The best documentary on Rommel I have ever seen.
Fact Patton and Rommel families have reunions
@Ken Kausse,
Is that true? Do you mean the 2 families had/have combined family reunions?
That would be amazing amd a great tribute to both men that the families still are treating them as great honorable warriors who happen to be pitted against each other for a while.

Awesome Documentary. I never knew he had a daughter. Thank you for sharing...
I've always admired and had great respect for the Desert Fox.
My congratulations to you on successfully crossing over to non-American people that everyone should know about.
That's a video I have never saw of Rommel (0:59) !
Never knew his story. Thank you Jerry
Brilliant!
I forget how but in Africa Rommel was listening in on the allies. Part of his "genius" there was because he knew what was coming.
Rommel was a brilliant tactician, a great soldier, and a great officer. He was a true leader in every sense of the word. But his downfall was solely due to the fact that Hitler was in power over Germany.
Interesting stuff.
y'all Southerners.
very well-researched and very well-read, Southerner. That War of Northern Agression is still being fought.
Brilliant thank you.
Great documentary, Jerry, and I m saying that as a German myself.

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE DESERT FOX....NO MATTER WHAT...!!!
A VERY SKILLED OFFICER.....WHO WAS RESPECTED BY ALL BRITISH ARMY OFFICERS, EVEN INTO TODAY'S WORLD 🌎
Sincerely, with all do respect.
The US government released that Hitler lived out the rest of his life, after the war in Argentina.
As in the case of his opposing contemporary Patton, he was killed by politics.
Never joined the Nazi Party. Now there is a little fact not mentioned often. Let the significance of that sink in.
I didnt know he went to the USA to study Forest. The fact he never became a Nazi has always intreqed me.
Skilled leader but fought for the Nazis knowing it was wrong
Your mini-documentry is fantastic. It brought tears to my eyes to realize how stupid people really are. Rommel was a great man. The world has a way of taking our best and chewing them up and spitting them out.
Perhaps only General George Patton compared to the military genius of General Erwin Rommel.
RIP Rommel
Avery interesting man it's too bad he played for the wrong team.
As opposed to Stalin, the Allies best friend that murdered some 40 million+ Russians as well as millions from other ethnicities and starved to death millions more.
Or Churchill who starved to death more than 4 million, with millions more dying from malnutrition related illnesses in the 1943 Bengal Famine.

How the common German military acted decently and bravely protected then from 'excited'
mobs on their way stirred up by politicians at bombed out RR stations on their ways to the Stalags.
As it happened I early on stumbled on a long forgotten 'false' Abewhr escape line in Antwerp, Belgium. One agent of theirs (Rene Van Muylem aka ' Donald, aka Robert') penetrated a genuine Belgian a patriot group with a very proud 'Comete' Line background, became a 'Right-Hand' Man to the leader and proceeded to ensure the arrest of 177 airmen. He spoke English well having served as a ship barber in the decade before the war.
An honest honest man he was he confessed it was only 176 airmen when given a 'Special Abwehr' award before he left on holiday at the beginning of August 1944 (most of whom I have studied in detail).

He never betrayed any of the patriots who helped him in evasion except the one ( a brave good fellow) who was about to try to kill him.
None-the-less had bad luck. Tried and convicted he was executed in 1947. Had his court date been a year later he would have survived the 'vengeance' period and been a very interesting man to chat with. I'm sorry they killed him.

It sucks to follow the leader
🌎👍❤
Excellent however Hitler did not commit suicide he escaped to South America
He is a hero for trying to stop moustache' Hitler.
A sad ending for a great military leader… all because of a madman
Can’t remember which rolling stone song it is but they indicated he was the devil
He should have been on the American side. I believe things would have turned out differently.
😓😥
I seemed to miss Rommel's most important operation in Egypt and his robbery of some Jewish loot, his submarine tour in Egypt. He had a large gold bullion store for his payroll that has never been located. Hitler was mocked for his top 8 generals mysteriously dying in a short period of time. There is no honor among thieves.
He was no puppet, but he had too choose for others too live at the end, Nazies did not recognize him as a hero, he was used for his talent and discarded. Never again we said after ww2, and now Putin is banging on our backdoor. Great video again Mr Skinner thnx.

he aint banging on nobodies door
where was the world when america invaded iraq?
where was it when isreael murdered so many civilians ?
putin doesnt want to conquer all of europe nor does he want t o have another soviet union
hes a conservative who uses the russians in ukraine ( who do have the majority in the east ) to keep himself in power for longer
hes "taking them home"
What happened to his illegitimate daughter Gertrude?
I wondered that too.
What happened his daughter?????
Its all baloney ! It ended up in a two front battles with the British and America fighting in North Africa.The large surrender of Africa Corps were needed in Europe . All the best folks .
The Ceremony was in ULM, my Hometown and the Burial in Herrlingen, Blaustein. My Grandfather was in the DAK under Rommel in a Medical Unit.
Thank you Ron, quite a history in your family. Jerry
Rommel was indeed a fascinating man. Thanks, Jerry. How you doing, bud?
Doing good Dr. Jerry
