Цитаты об Эрвине Роммеле
Стивен Прессфилд
Rommel had gained the world’s respect for his military genius. He was a legend. (…) Rommel was reminiscent of the more romantic, chivalrous days of old — and was a genuinely humane military officer. Rommel was Germany’s best General. You have to remember all of Europe was in Nazi hands at the time. The Americans hadn't entered the war yet. Russia was being attacked by 166 Nazi divisions. Things were grim. And Rommel, the greatest desert fighting general of all time, and his Africa Korps, were kicking the British's butt, pushing them back to Cairo. It became a case where the war might have been lost right there.

Цитаты об Эрвине Роммеле
Стивен Прессфилд в книге «Убийство Роммеля» ( Killing Rommel, 2009 ), стр. 7.
Self-restraint, even chivalry… distinguished the combatants on both sides throughout the North Africa campaign… The leading exemplar of this code was Rommel himself. When orders from Hitler mandated the execution of captured British commandos, Rommel tossed the document into the trash. He insisted that Allied prisoners receive the same rations and medical care as he himself was given. He even wrote a book about the conflict called Krieg ohne Hass (War Without Hate). Memoirs of the North Africa campaign attest that, fierce and brutal as much of the fighting was, relations between individual enemies retained a quality of forbearance that seems, today, almost impossible to imagine.
