“[Erwin Rommel] explained why in short words, what the two generals' message and then he explained his position and he gave some reason for his position. And then he said, "The ten minutes are over, and I have to leave now." Then my father said goodbye. He also told that us that in I think twenty or thirty minutes, I don't remember, "You will get a telephone call telling you that I have died of stroke."” ThinkingSaidTwoReasonRememberFatherMinutesPositionTenMessagesDiedTwentiesThirtyGoodbyeStrokesTelephonesRemember YouRemembers YouShort WordsRommel Author:Manfred Rommel
