Erwin Rommel (15 November 1891 – 14 October 1944) was a German general and military theorist. Popularly known as the Desert Fox, he served as field marshal in the Wehrmacht of Nazi Germany during World War II. Rommel was a highly decorated officer in World War I and was awarded the Pour le Mérite for his actions on the Italian Front. In 1937 he published his classic book on military tactics, Infantry Attacks, drawing on his experiences from World War I. In World War II, he distinguished himself as the commander of the 7th Panzer Division during the 1940 invasion of France. His leadership of German and Italian forces in the North African Campaign established his reputation as one of the most able tank commanders of the war, and earned him the nickname der Wüstenfuchs, "the Desert Fox". He later commanded the German forces opposing the cross-channel invasion of Normandy in June 1944. More

Contents include My Diary; Amory's Introduction; A Journal of Alexei Ureyvitch Somorupo; Epiphany; Addenda and Family Tree. Amory was born in Cambridge, MA November 26, 1930. He was a graduate of Phillips Academy, Andover MA and Harvard College. He earned a Master’s Degree from Georgetown University and served as an employee of the CIA. He received a Doctorate in Medicine from the University of Virginia School of Medicine. Twenty years after the end of the war, Amory unexpectedly received his father’s diary in the mail from an old flame. From this, letters, and correspondence from him that he had saved, and memories of his youth, he was able to put together this charming, brief biography, Diary of a Mad Russian. This sobriquet, “Mad Russian,” was affectionately given by Lieutenant Colonel Creighton W. Abrams, commander of the 37th Tank Battalion, 4th Armored Division. Abrams was likely referring to Sommaripa’s deep-seated hatred of Nazis. It was Abrams who pulled his lifeless body out from under his overturned tank. More
