Tojo was the most honorable commander

@@soaringwingssecondstage8995 no he wasn't, Tojo was the one of the main reasons Japan was what it was in WW2

Are you sure?

@@soaringwingssecondstage8995 well I'm not so sure about how he handled when he was on the ground, but unlike Rommel, the man was very ambitious as a true believer of Imperial rule over Asia, hence boosting the militaristic nature of Imperial Japan. He was even called "Razor" for his cold decision making when he led the Kempetai(Military Police) in Manchuria. He also approved the attack of Pearl Harbor as well as the terrible conditions of POWs. Also being the Prime Minister of Imperial Japan who led the country in WW2, it can be said the the atrocities committed was also his responsibility, which are: > Chemical warfare against Chinese citizens > The Bataan Death March > The rape of Nanking And among others. While yeah, these can be debatable if it was his fault or not, the responsibility of these actions ultimately falls on him as the leader of the nation (though technically Emperor Hirohito was the Head of State, most of the executive power kind of rests on Tojo) So yeah, Tojo was definately not as honorable as other people, but that's pretty much gonna be a given being the Prime Minister of a fascist Imperial Japan

He would be executed for being a high commanding officer. Unless fellow officers of the Allies was willing to excuse him.

Rommel actually got stopped at the belgium trenches by 40 soldiers covering 39 kilometers of entrenchment but he wasn't able to break through until they had ran out of ammo.

@@veselko2916 Sabaton - Resist and bite

A funny side note: Germany was very adapt at using captured enemy vehicles (i would say they relied on it) At time the Afrikakorps boasted more allied vehicles then German manufactured ones. That's how dire the situation was. Rommel himself used a captured British command truck until it broke down and he switched back to his old Opel Blitz truck.

You have the RAF to thank for that. They torpedoed his supply ships and shot down his supply planes. When the fuel and ammunition does not even reach Africa, you are screwed. Though the Uboats wreaked havoc on the Royal Navy, the luftwaffe dropped the ball.

No because his military supplies weren‘t the real reason he lost in North Africa it was rather because of the decryption of the enigma. It was the thing that ruined Rommels attempt to capture el alamein. Due to them intercepting the communication they knew where he was going to attack. So, were able to heavily fortify and mine it. And due to that and because of the artillery guns there, he lost. So, in summary the shortage was a big problem but not the main one.

just imagine just with limited supply he almost defeated the British in North Africa, luckily Hitler never prioritize the North African campaign and just send Rommel their to help the Italians.

@@leanderklinger5154 I was going to post this but I saw your post. The compromised enigma transmissions combined with the lack of resupply really screwed Rommel. Hitler decided to focus Germany's resources on the Western front and practically abandoned Rommel to deal with the African front by himself.

Great general, loving father. His death save his family, that why there many of his relative descendents live today because of him. Let one life taken in order to safe hundred.

Montgomery and Rommel were gentlemen. They were adversaries but respect each other. In fact, both their sons are great friends. A bit like the Red Baron. When he was shot by the British and died he received a military funeral from the British.

Most soldiers does not mistreat prisoners of war, but sadly there are exceptions, even today.

Even Winston Churchill respected him for being so honourable in battle

Now the story of how the German came to be in possession of the goggles can be told for the first time. They were given to him by a British prisoner as a gift to thank him for retrieving a stolen hat. Major General Michael Gambier-Parry, of the 2nd Armoured Division, was captured with 2,000 of his men by Rommel in Mechili, Libya, in 1941. The German field marshal invited the British officer to dine with him in a gesture of military camaraderie. The pair shared good wine and smoked ‘excellent cigars’, according to Gambier-Parry’s granddaughter, Liza Donoghue, 67. During the meal, Gambier-Parry complained that a German soldier had taken his hat. A furious Rommel then took it upon himself to get the garment back to his prisoner.And when Rommel later found Gambier-Parry’s Army goggles in a staff car, he asked the British officer if he could keep them and Gambier-Parry agreed...... Erwin Rommel cared about his own troops and the enemy

He didn't have to but he actually got the British soldiers hat back

Yeah, Soviet Union was kinda special. They even killed lots of their own soldiers after the war, just because they were POW's of Germany. Didn't hear about that from any other nation.

Sandro Drechsel Yea I think it was yalta conference, but don't quote me.

The Soviets actually sentenced most Czech pilots, who served in the RAF during the war in the 50s. Instead of celebrating them as heroes, they were locked in a forced labour camp. Communism should be equally condemned as Nazism.

Nico Gallos didn’t he execute a prisoner?

Yes he ordered an execution of a French officer who refused couple times to cooperate, but being debated whether it's legal or not because the officer didn't act as a PoW.

Yeah i believe he even paid the occupied country's people that constructed his trenches, and that he never let his men fire upon retreating forces

there were actually a couple of instances where this happened, most notably when Rommel refused to turn over one British SAS officer who was Jewish. Nothing below the board, Rommel simply refused to do so, knowing that Hitler couldn't really do anything to him because of his status to the German people and importance to the war effort. of course, this made Hitler want to kill him, really since long before the attempt on his life. Thus, When the possibility of his involvement came up, Hitler jumped on the opportunity to get rid of him as he had become too popular while holding a position opposing Hitler's own, thus making him the potential leader of any major rebellion Source: Knight's Iron Cross, a biography of Field Marshall Erwin Rommel
