- Visiting Herrlingen. Rommel's house, grave and memorial. Villa Lindenhof hosted the Rommel museum and archive until May 2019 when it was permanently closed. The cemetery is in front of the town's church which is close to the train station. From there it's a 10 minute walk to the house and at least another 10 minutes to the site of his death.

3:20 For those who wonder what the German says: "Here is where General Field Marshall Erwin Rommel on October 14 1944 was forced to commit suicide! He drank the poisoned cup, thus saving his family from Hitler's thugs."
@ekey1425 No bandit.
As General George Patton stated, “It is wrong and foolish to mourn the dead. Rather we should thank God that such men have lived.” To Rommel, the desert fox, for his tactical innovations against the enemy during World War One and World War Two, and one of his most famous quotes that he has stick with and told his men, “Sweat saves blood, blood saves lives, but brains saves both.” May he rest in soft blowing sands of the North African desert. Godspeed Rommel, Godspeed.
He would be laugh and proud if he saw how American tank operated during Operation desert storm. His enemy using his tactic to catch Iraqi off guard by using overwhelming force and speed
One of the greatest German officer of world War 2 admired by all allied forces. May his soul RIP.
My Oma took me to his grave and we laid flowers on it when I was 8 years old, 1980 !!!
I had no idea who this man was ???
I am 50 now and have read so much about him !!!
My Oma told me that he was a great man !!!
Germany’s finest !!!
She also told me that he fought for an idiot !!!
What I have learned !!!
She was right !!!
Amazing man !!!
Germans don’t have a lot to be proud of during that war !!!
But that man loved Germany !!!
A war hero !!!
And his son too !!!
Became mayor of Stuttgart !!!
And was loved and honoured at his death !!!
I was at the remembrance ceremony few years ago and met some of his veterans as well as his granddaughter that came all the way from America.
Einer unserer Besten. Ehre seinem Andenken.

Thanks for doing this, was awesome to see this site. 🙂
Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
There was a 93% 'Yes' in the poll for this video so here it is.
A few more details about Rommel's last day according to his son's account:
"I arrived at Herrlingen at 7:00 a.m. My father was at breakfast. A cup was quickly brought for me and we breakfasted together, afterwards taking a stroll in the garden.
'At twelve o'clock to-day two Generals are coming to discuss my future employment,' my father started the conversation. 'So today will decide what is planned for me; whether a People's Court or a new command in the East.'
'Would you accept such a command,' I asked.
He took me by the arm, and replied: 'My dear boy, our enemy in the East is so terrible that every other consideration has to give way before it. If he succeeds in overrunning Europe, even only temporarily, it will be the end of everything which has made life appear worth living. Of course I would go.'
Shortly before twelve o'clock, my father went to his room on the first floor and changed from the brown civilian jacket which he usually wore over riding-breeches, to his Africa tunic, which was his favorite uniform on account of its open collar.
At about twelve o'clock a dark-green car with a Berlin number stopped in front of our garden gate. The only men in the house apart from my father, were Captain Aldinger [ Rommel's aide] , a badly wounded war-veteran corporal and myself. Two generals - Burgdorf, a powerful florid man, and Maisel, small and slender - alighted from the car and entered the house. They were respectful and courteous and asked my father's permission to speak to him alone. Aldinger and I left the room.
'So they are not going to arrest him,' I thought with relief, as I went upstairs to find myself a book. A few minutes later I heard my father come upstairs and go into my mother's room. Anxious to know what was afoot, I got up and followed him. He was standing in the middle of the room, his face pale.
'Come outside with me,' he said in a tight voice. We went into my room. 'I have just had to tell your mother,' he began slowly, 'that I shall be dead in a quarter of an hour.' He was calm as he continued: 'To die by the hand of one's own people is hard. But the house is surrounded and H*tler is charging me with high treason. '
"In view of my services in Africa," ' he quoted sarcastically, 'I am to have the chance of dying by poison. The two generals have brought it with them. It's fatal in three seconds. If I accept, none of the usual steps will be taken against my family, that is against you. They will also leave my staff alone.'
'Do you believe it?' I interrupted.
'Yes,' he replied. 'I believe it. It is very much in their interest to see that the affair does not come out into the open. By the way, I have been charged to put you under a promise of the strictest silence. If a single word of this comes out, they will no longer feel themselves bound by the agreement.'
I tried again. 'Can't we defend ourselves…' He cut me off short. 'There's no point,' he said. 'It's better for one to die than for all of us to be killed in a shooting affray. Anyway, we've practically no ammunition.' We briefly took leave of each other. 'Call Aldinger, please,' he said.
Aldinger had meanwhile been engaged in conversation by the General's escort to keep him away from my father. At my call, he came running upstairs. He, too, was struck cold when he heard what was
happening.
My father now spoke more quickly. He again said how useless it was to attempt to defend ourselves.
'It's all been prepared to the last detail. I'm to be given a state funeral. I have asked that it should take place in Ulm. [a city near Rommel's home] In a quarter of an hour, you, Aldinger, will receive a telephone call from the Wagnerschule reserve hospital in Ulm to say that I've had a brain seizure on the way to a conference.' He looked at his watch. 'I must go, they've only given me ten minutes.' He quickly took leave of us again. Then we went downstairs together.
We helped my father into his leather coat. Suddenly he pulled out his wallet. 'There's still 150 marks in there,' he said. 'Shall I take the money with me?'
'That doesn't matter now, Herr Field Marshal,' said Aldinger.
My father put his wallet carefully back in his pocket. As he went into the hall, his little dachshund which he had been given as a puppy a few months before in France, jumped up at him with a whine of joy.
'Shut the dog in the study, Manfred,' he said, and waited in the hall with Aldinger while I removed the excited dog and pushed it through the study door. Then we walked out of the house together. The two generals were standing at the garden gate. We walked slowly down the path, the crunch of the gravel sounding unusually loud.
As we approached the generals they raised their right hands in salute. 'Herr Field Marshal,' Burgdorf said shortly and stood aside for my father to pass through the gate. A knot of villagers stood outside the drive…
The car stood ready. The S.S. driver swung the door open and stood to attention. My father pushed his Marshal's baton under his left arm, and with his face calm, gave Aldinger and me his hand once more before getting in the car.
The two generals climbed quickly into their seats and the doors were slammed. My father did not turn again as the car drove quickly off up the hill and disappeared round a bend in the road. When it had gone Aldinger and I turned and walked silently back into the house…
Twenty minutes later the telephone rang. Aldinger lifted the receiver and my father's death was duly reported."
Honor and Respect for one of the greatest commanders of all times !
imho, he served the wrong ideology but he did his utmost duty for his Country.
A true inspiration !
Fascinating upload and post. Thank you 👍🏾
General Rommel was so brave in his attempt to rid the world of Hitler....as well as when it can to facing his own death. A REAL soldier to the end. I salute him. May he Rest In Peace and Rest In Power. 💯✝️🙏🤘👍🏆 Rommel is forever a WINNER.
It is still controversial today. But he was a soldier through and through.
Great great video !!
Erwin Rommel was a great strategist, his book "Infanterie Greift an" was an interesting account of combat tactics on the front line.
thank you
What happened to your video on III battle of Kharkov
Increíble....Saludos desde Argentina
Rest in Peace My favorite Field Marshall.
Homage from India. 🇮🇳 🇩🇪
Very proper and dignified for a patriotic combat soldier. Deutsche Afrika Korps. Wish I could visit the gravesite and memorial in person. Forced suicide is in reality murder.
One of the few generals Germany honours, because almost every other German general did war crimes, or weren’t really ‘honour-able’ or noteworthy.
That is bullshit
Un militar increible, y de los que podian haber cambiado el destinó y la duración de la II WW.
رجل عظيم من أمة عظيمة،إذا مات ألمان مات القوة ،ارقد بسلام ايها محارب العظيم.🌹
Спасибо за экскурсию...лис пустыни
Nice
Full respect .
Rest in peace Erwin ..
The hatch on the memorial is from a Panther.
I think it's from an armoured car or Panzer III type.
thank you.
Allah rehmet elesin sene Ervin Rommel sen müselmanlari xilas etdin ingilissakson guldurlardan
He did his duty, to his country and to himself , In a den of demons he was a good man. RIP.
Rip rommel
I have no biass towards Irwin Rommel but he really was a great feild Marshall
Great General of modern era the desert fox General rumal of Germany
Why did it close?
And what happened to its collection?
The authorities argued that it was less about Rommel and more about military nerds and their glorification of the war. As a counter-argument I would say that this is true for every war museum. What are visitors in the museum in Moscow looking for? Medals, dirty uniforms, cool weapons, etc.
@@ww2-epicbattles that's so stupid. In what way would we be glorifying it? I would be more worried if it became a holy site for Neo-Nazis
@@ww2-epicbattles
Nonsense, Rommel had to take a poison pill or else die by inglorious execution. Rommel was a military man, not a Nazi. History is being rewritten before our very eyes!
@@ww2-epicbattles The authorities don't care everything that could bring people to diverge form their ideological narrative has to be destroyed in their eyes it's only a matter until they get rid of the streetname and the memorial.
@@ww2-epicbattles Stupid
the stories this man could have told us...........
The best general in tactics and strategies .
Tactics yes, but not strategy.
@@ww2-epicbattles isn't that the same thing?
@@djreventonofficialaccount6769 no
Rommel was so well respected, that the Allied commanders sent flowers to his funeral.
the man turned a retread into an advance with the message im back signed rommel
Il miglior fel maresciallo del mondo maestro dei trucchi ma soprattutto la 🦊 più furba di tutta la Libia e 🫡🪖
I notice on the plaque of the people who have occupied the house, the previous occupant before Rommel was Hugo Rosenthal who lived at the house from 1933-1939. I wonder if he was Jewish, and what become of him?
Opposite to the house there is a very small retirement home for elder jews. Maybe that's somehow related to him. Idk
😥😥😥
Well, thats interesting
