- Lot Description
ROMMEL, Johannes Erwin Eugen (1891-1944). Document Signed (?War School Wr. [Weiner] ? Neustadt / Daily Order No. 17" ? translated from the German). Weiner. ? Neustadt, February 22, 1939. Four 4to pages on one folded folio leaf, mimeographed (?) typed text in German. Each page approximately 12 x 8 ?". Two hole-punches at margins near central fold. Some toning, minor creasing, rubbing at margins, small tear at lower margin of the first page. Fine. SIGNED, ?Rommel" on p. [3] in pencil. Countersigned by Rommel's Adjutant, ?Bergut" [?] on p. [4] in pencil. These orders, given during Rommel's tenure as Commandant of the war school, have several provisions, including: punishment for a Corporal Gerlof of 21 days imprisonment for deserting his post and getting drunk; naming several officers who will undergo Russian language training; a notification of a lecture of Napoleon's collapse by Lt. Col. Hesse; notifications of a class for repairing grenade launchers; various other school business. Rommel served as Commandant of the war school from 1938 until 1939, where he was appointed the commander of Hitler's personal guard after the invasion of Poland. Rommel continued his rise through the high command, until he was appointed commanded of the famous Afrika Korps tank division in 1941. Through his string of military successes in North Africa, he became known as the ?Desert Fox." He was eventually driven out of North Africa by Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery (1887-1976). Rommel had various commands throughout Nazi-held territories until he was implicated in the failed plot to assassinate Hitler in 1944. Although Rommel had no direct involvement in the plot, he had favored a change of Nazi leadership. Rommel was then given a choice after the plot was exposed ? either be executed in disgrace along with his family, or quietly commit suicide. He chose an honorable suicide. Measurements: 12"L x 10"W x 1"H.
