scothunter 12,609 Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Erwin Rommel superb strategist and even in war time a man with integrity. True story... He got lost in the desert during a battle. He came across a field hospital thinking it was one of his own he stopped off. it actually was a British field hospital. He didn't want to do a runner and give himself away so took the tour offered by one of the Drs who thought he was an officer of a polish unit. Met with injured soldiers and one tent was full of captured injured germans who were stunned when thier field marshall walked in lol Rommel decided to make his excuses and leave as he thought the expressions on his mens faces would give him away, but not before asking the Dr if they needed anything. Dr told him a few things that they were desperately short of rommel said he would see what he could and left. True to his word few days later via some natives he sent the supplies they asked him for. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saluki bouy 635 Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Ian Smith prime minister for Rhodesia read a couple books very interesting bloke and unfortunately lived to see everything he built and fought for destroyed and he even had the foresight to tell them it would happen, he was turning in his grave before he even hit it sold out by Britain trying to appease the left even back then Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Seeker 3,048 Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Douglas Bader, if any man had an excuse (both legs amputated) for not going to war it was him. A true never say die attitude. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
