I've actually never been facinated by any of the big guys so to say. Hitler was a lunatic.. Stalin was the biggest treath to his own people and noone of the other big names "Napolion/Cesar or whatever" never cathced my eyes. But Rommel in other hands have catched my eyes as probably the man with the best military stategy ever!
Not only was he famous and loved for his strategy and perfect worked out manouvers in field! But also he was the biggest treath to Hitler as the next leader if Hitler would die!
Now if you havent read much about him i suggest you do so. Even i who never actually liked history much have spent many hours reading about this great man!
