“It was very strange, because my father [ Erwin Rommel] received the first call at seven o'clock in the morning. And [Hans] Speidel told my father, "I will call you up in one hour when I see more clearly what's going on." After an hour, Speidel said, "Yes, the landing took place in Normandy." And the German Navy had told my father that it was too stormy. And that the British and the Americans and the French can't come. And my father believed him.” FirstsSaidFatherHoursMorningStrangeSevenBritishClockNavyLandingOne HourStormyNormandyRommel Author:Manfred Rommel

And our feeling was we did not only lose the war, we lost also our honor.” FirstsWarFeelingsRememberLostLosesSawsHonorPhotographConcentrationPrisonerCampsRemember WhenConcentration Camp Author:Manfred Rommel
