He was a splendid military gambler, dominating the problems of supply and scornful of opposition?? His ardor and daring inflicted grievous disasters upon us, but he deserves the salute which I made him ? and not without some reproaches from the public ? in the House of Commons in January 1942, when I said of him, ?We have a very daring and skillful opponent against us, and, may I say across the havoc of war, a great general.?
He also deserves our respect because, although a loyal German soldier, he came to hate Hitler and all his works, and took part in the conspiracy to rescue Germany by displacing the maniac and tyrant.?For this, he paid the forfeit of his life. In the sombre wars of modern democracy, chivalry finds no place ? Still, I do not regret or retract the tribute I paid to Rommel, unfashionable though it was judged.
