Default Re: Lesser known details of WW2 part four

General major Johannes Streich

He fell out with Rommel on two occasions, first in France 1940 in the rush to the coast, and then in Africa during the siege of Tobruk. Rommel criticised him, saying that he was far too concerned with the well-being of his troops, to which Streich replied :" I can think of no greater words of praise for a divisional commander."
