LACWW3 Как погибли все главные герои Второй мировой войны

How Every Major WWII Hero Died Erwin Rommel did not die in battle. He did not die from enemy fire. He did not die from disease or exhaustion in some forgotten theatre of the war. He died because two German generals arrived at his front door on a Tuesday afternoon and gave him twenty minutes to choose between a cyanide pill and a public trial for treason. This was October fourteenth, nineteen forty-four. Rommel was recovering at his home in Herrlingen, in southwest Germany, still healing from injuries sustained when Allied aircraft strafed his staff car in Normandy three months earlier. The most celebrated commander in the German armed forces was about to be killed by the country that had made him famous.
