*pops her head in warily* Guten Tag!
My my, don't we have a nice little group of Desert Foxes here. It is so nice to find others who admire the Field Marshal for who he is and what he's done and not by who he served. I thought I was alone aside from the Canadian I knew who liked him.
I'm RommelMitthy on FictionPress.com and Youtube.com. I've only been studying the Field Marshal for two years now and I am still discovering something new about him each day.
I have to say I love the fiction and fan fiction that has been created by this group. It is so hard to find decent stories on the Field Marshal, if any at all. I also love the cartoon of Rommel disassembling the panzer. I can certainly see him doing that and in fact, if I recall correctly, he wanted to actually do that but chose to inspect the thing instead.
One of my favorite quirks he's done is burning his bed. Can you imagine the reactions of his soldiers as they watched some of them pull his iron bed out of headquarters and pour petrol all over it and he dropping a match on it just so he can get a full nights rest? ---- those bedbugs! Heh.
Anyway, I might post some of my artwork up. It's the most I have on the Field Marshal and the Afrika Korps. I do, kinda, have a story started, a crossover with Stargate SG-1. I'm just trying to fix the plot background holes before I get it going.
If anyone is curious as to why my name is ErwiiRommie instead of RommelMitthy its because that is my nickname my MOHAA gaming clan, the .:MASTERS:., gave me due to my name being .:MASTER:.Erwin_Rommel and my custom skin is the Field Marshal. It's also the name I respond to now, lol.
Also a little more about me... if you havent noticed with the first sentence yet, I'm female. I get all kinds of reactions when people discover that the user "Erwin Rommel" is actually a girl, lol. I play Medal of Honor online almost everyday after work, great stress reliever especially when I'm kicking butt! I am also a Star Wars fan, Imperial to the core! I'm 24 soon to be 25 and live in Florida, USA.
I like Erwin Rommel for both his character qualities and his military successes. I would have joined the Army because of him but due to whats currently going on, Ive had time to think it over a little more carefully. I have a nice little collection of German panzers and British tanks with little figurines to go with them. One of my hobby goals is to recreate the Battle for Tobruk on a table somewhere in my house, I just havent gotten around to it or have the money yet. And there seems to be a shortage of Italian tanks and figurines.
That's pretty much it... that I can think of anyway.
It'll be nice to finally talk about him without getting wierd "Are you a neo-nazi?" looks from the ignorant masses.
