The Field Marshal again.
Gentlemen and Allison,
Yesterday a link, to that very well known photograph of Bernard Montgomery in Service Dress, was posted, I have certainly never thought of him as short, but, compared to Brigadier Hill?

Really? well, certainly from my own point of view, he will always stand taller than a pair of Nazi war criminals.

Really?
 Perhaps there was another man with the same name? The one I refer to was killed by his own government in 1944, although, quite frankly, Johannes Le Roux could have saved them the trouble, if only!  Quote:

Quote:
you and I clearly have very different opinions of what constitutes a war criminal. Rommel, whatever side he served, was an outstanding soldier and leader, and for that (as a soldier) I respect him. Just because he was a general on the "losing side" doesn't make him a war criminal. Perhaps you would be so good as to explain the exact nature of his war crimes so that I can be as objective as you are ? PL
