Rommel & The Desert Made By Jen Connor Jessica Jade

Who?  Erwin Rommel was a highly respected German war general. Accused of participating in the attempted assassination of Hitler, and was forced to commit suicide.

What?  Recognized for his victories in Africa, which earned him the nickname “Desert Fox”. He was responsible for the fortification of the Atlantic wall, which was believed, would be able to stop any allied invasion from the sea.

When?  Rommel was born in 1891, and died in Most of his notable military career happened during World War 2, although he was a frontline infantry in World War 1. He became a commander in 1938, just before the start of the Second World War.

Where?  Became most well known for his war tactics in Africa, but also played a large in role in the battles in France and Poland.

Why?  To honour Hitler and his country, and to help him move in the direction he felt would best support Germany

How?  He defeated the allies in Africa, during the early part of the war by using a tactic developed by him called the “Panzer Tactic”.

Cause & Affect  Causes of the North African Campaign were that Mussolini envisioned the Mediterranean as an Italian lake, so he sent in troops to the Italian colony of Libya to start attacking the allies.

Significance  Rommel was best known for his success on the North African campaign. It took place from 1940 to 1943, there were many battles fought during this time including battles through the Libyan and Egyptian deserts, and also battles in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia.

Evidence  Rommel’s tactical talents are what led him to great success; however he never fully understood that the object of the mission was to be defensive. He led his team of troops onward and they eventually were forced to retreat.
