My personal favorite person from history to talk about is Erwin Rommel who fought for Germany in World War 2. He was their best tank commander and a brilliant strategist. He was given the nickname of the "Desert Fox" after his campaign in North Africa where he left Allied Troops Scared of Germany's Armoured Divisions. He was later executed for treason after they suspected him in a plot to kill hitler. The Germans covered it up as they didn't want their most prized leader to be a traitor of the German cause.
