Rommel + Patton = Fun time (TM)

The last of the real knights.

Churchill, on hearing of Rommel's death:

"He also deserves our respect, because, although a loyal German soldier, he came to hate Hitler and all his works, and took part in the conspiracy to rescue Germany by displacing the maniac and tyrant. For this, he paid the forfeit of his life. In the sombre wars of modern democracy, there is little place for chivalry”

i didn't know this about him. I'm glad he took a stand.

today i watched a short documentary that sought to collect and present all known footage of jewish children feeling hitler's crush. it was more disturbing than anything i'd seen before. motion picture cameras--i'm sure quite rare--witnessed catatonic youngsters hiding in basements, picking nits from each other's hair, sitting along sidewalks with the overwhelmed and hopeless gaze that didn't reach adults until corralled behind barbed wire.

when adults die, you know at least they got to grow up.

Rommel in Africa does seem a million miles from all that.
