I just woke up from my bed then straightly switched on the TV. However all the programs seems not interesting. Well i think it is normal because it was early in the morning. Then i was attracted to one program on National Geographic Channel which is related to Adolf Hitler. So I decided to watch it because it might be an interesting source for this blog. So here it is, "Stalking Hitler's Generals".
During World War II, Allied operatives went on secret missions to kill Adolph Hitler and his top officers, including Erwin Rommel and Heinrich Kreipe. Allied Special Forces launched daring wartime missions to capture or kill Nazi generals where they were stationed on the front lines of war. National Geographic Channel captures the real-time drama felt as the Special Forces commanded these dangerous and complicated missions to exotic locations.
There are two most well known generals in this documentary. The first one is Erwin Rommel or known as the Desert Fox which is a title given to him by the British. A brilliant tactician, Rommel received his nickname by guiding his elite Africa Korps to several decisive victories against British forces which took place at Libya. He had won the respect of both his own troops and the enemies he fought. The British army was driven to try anything that they could in order to capture Erwin Rommel. So they formed an Allied operatives team as a spy in order to capture him in a silent way. It took years before they managed to get inside Rommel's hiding place and he was shot to the death. However, the official story of Rommel's death as initially reported to the general public stated that Rommel had either suffered a heart attack which is believes as a conspiracy.

However, the official story of Rommel's death as initially reported to the general public stated that Rommel had either suffered a heart attack which is believes as a conspiracy.
The second general is Heinrich Kreipe and the story took place at Crete, Greece. As commander of Infantry Regiment 209 of the 58th Infantry Division, Kreipe participated in the Battle of France and was awarded Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross award which is an award of Germany to recognize extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership during World War II. However, Kreipe story is different from previous general because he is famous for his spectacular abduction by the British. Same like Erwin Rommel case, an Allied operatives team consist of four soldiers was sent in order to get Kreipe. The team managed to get him while he was in his car, on the way to his well-guarded residence. The general was taken to the shore and they managed to get him off from the island by the boat. Kreipe was interrogated, and then transferred to a camp in Canada.So, as a conclusion, by looking at the way the British immobilize all these generals, it can be conclude that their role are very important to Nazis. As we all well informed, Adolf Hitler alone is a great and honored leader. Together with all his generals, the Nazis is undefeated. The British had tried their best to defeat all these two generals with all the forces that they have but still failed. This clearly prove that Hitler's generals are the main part of Nazi armies after their leader, Adolf Hitler.
