“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
“[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
