Who was Erwin Rommel?Erwin Rommel (15 Novemver 1891 - 14 October 1944) was a German general who rose to fame as commander of the Axis forces fighting the British in North Africa (1941-43). A clever tactician who used his numerically inferior forces to such great advantage that his reputation became a threat to Allied morale. Finally overwhelmed by superior numbers, he returned to Europe where he was put in charge of organising the defence of the French coast (so-called "Atlantic Wall") prior to the Normandy landings in June 1944. Badly wounded by an air attack on his staff car, he returned to Germany. Implicated in the July (1944) plot to assassinate Hitler but was so popular that he was not put on trial.

Was Egon Marx a winner of the blue max?
The Blue Max was the Prussian Order Pour Le Merite. it has not been awarded to servicemen- and was restricted to Commissioned officers- since World War I. The order was NOT restricted to the Luftwaffe, as the movie seems to imply ( I am referring to the George Peppard film) name derives from German ace Max Immelmann, who did not survive the war. Rommel ( Army) and several submarine commanders did receive the award in World War I. there were tonnage priority lists for the Submariners- so many thousands of tons of confirmed sinkings were in effect merit points. for the Luftwaffe- Twenty confirmed kills for fighter pilots ( an allied Ace only required 5 confirmed downings of enemy craft) Ace is not, of course an award or military rank. the Blue Max was a high decoration. the badge took the form of a Maltese Cross- with the motto Pour le merite- For the Merit, and four Eagles in the interstices.(regardless of service branch). there you have it. do NOT confuse with Iron Cross which in World War I was a minor decoration. both have Maltese cross -eight point, design.
