from Rommels early successes In
World War II.
In Poland, Rommel - then a ma
jor general personally led the
spectacular tank advance that
crushed the main Polish army. In
France, 1t was Rommel's crack
panzer column that flanked the
Maginot Line and raced behind 1t
to the English Channel. In North
Africa, his initial feats made him
unquestionably Germany's most sue
cessful general.
The spotlight Of Nazi propaganda
was turned full blast on the desert
field marshal. Rommel rumor S
spread. He was presented as DASH
ing, streamlined, unbeatable, super
elusive general to whom luck al
ways was faithful.
But with the debacle at FL Ala
mein and the 1900 mile pursuit by
the British 9th Army, the myth ex-
ploded. The Allies took a closer
look at the now Debated superman.
He was just another Nazi general.
More important, they found they
had two Of their own who were a
lot smarter - invasion generals
Dwight D. Eisenhower and Sir Ber-
nard L. Montgomery.
Today the Allied soldiers are con-
vinced they are going to make Rom
mel wish he had taken that passage
to America.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-06-06

The German DNB Agency acknowledged that
of their vessels had been sunk in "volent fight
ing" in the Seine Estuary, but claimed also that
Allied cruiser and large landing vessel loaded with
troops had been sent to the bottom off the Normandy
peninsula
DNB said American paratroops landed near
Bareur Is miles east of Cherbourg at the northeast
ern tip of the Normandy peninsula, while massed
sea-borne operation being carried out near St.
Vaast-La Hougue, few miles to the south.
Other invasion forces were pouring ashore at
Caretan the Orne Estuary northeast of Caen and
between the Orne and Seine Estuaries, DNB said. At
least six battleshps supporting the latter land
ings, it said.
An earlier report of paratroop landing north Of
lie Havre proved incorrect, DNB said. Instead, the
agency explained the Allies had dropped uniformed
dummies which exploded when touched.
At least four Anglo-American air-borne divisions
have been observed between lie Havre and Cher
bourg, another DNB broadcast said The greater part
of the landed paraunits especially the British be
considered apnihilated, DNB said.
Allied headquarters announced that 200
Allied minesweepers manned by 10000 officers and
men were clearing the approaches to the invasion
beaches. Churchill placed the total number of ships
involved at 4O0O least 1000 greater than partci-
pated in the invasion of Sicily In addition Churchill
said thousands of smaller craft taking part in
the European landings.

Rommel, the erstwhile desert
Fox" whose North African debacle
apparently cost him none Of Hit
ler's confidence, was appointed
Germany's supreme anti-invasion
commander last January.
Since then he has been racing
up and down the Atlantic coast
from Norway to the Pyrenees, for
tifying and refortifying all conceiv-
able targets for today's landings.
His knowledge Of Anglo American
military strategy-painfully acquir-
ed on the Egyptian desert-has been
communicated in detail to the local
commanding generals-Kurt Gerd
Won Rundstedt, Nikolaus Won Falk-
enhorst and Hermann Won Mann
stein.
The toothy, pugnacious bat-earn-
ed son Of Bavarian laborer, Rom
mel has had a career as spectacle
lar as the flight Of one Of his own
rocket guns. Unlike the Prussian
aristocrats who are his colleagues,
Rommel learned to lead men In the
toughest OF gangster schools-the
Nazi party.
Left jobless and bitter after a
distinguished record in the first
world war, he Joined the Nazis
much as he would have poined any
other gang Of street brawlerS First
he had tried to borrow money for
steerage passage to the United
States.
Once in the party, Rommel's ag-
gressive ruthlessness soon won the
attention Of Hitler. With his un-
canny knack of picking leaders
out Of the gutter, Hitler made
Rommel his personal bodyguard
and friend. During the 1920s ROM
mel helped organize the black uni
formed SIS and supervised much Of
the strong-arm and subversive work
carried by the Nazis.
An early advocate OF super mech
anized warfare, he transferred from
the Gestapo to the army when mil
itary CONSUMPTION returned to Ger
many. Placed in charge of the Pots
dam officers school at Weiner Neu-
stadt, he wrote a now-famous trea-
tise on tank warfare-"The Infantry
Attacks"

trymen today to share his every

"Twenty-six years ago American
soldiers, in cooperation with their

bat with the Germany enemy.
Their march of victory was never
halted until the enemy laid down
his arms In defeat. The American

war Of liberation, wrote Of his deeds
