As new question, I ask for the date in WW2 on which General Rommel signed a capitulation.

Sorry, bad wording, my bad... this was not what I was meaning:
Required is the date in WW2 when General Rommel capitulated, signed a capitulation as the capitulating part.

As hinted, there was another General Rommel in WW2. He fought on Allied side and had to capitulate... yes, the question is, when. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Now it's not difficult anymore... all you need is the capitulation of Poland, resp. confirmation that it was signed by a Polish General Rommel.

Warsaw resigned September 28, 1939. The capitulation was signed by General Juliusz Rommel et alii.
New question: When the Wehrmacht invaded Austria, they had 25 soldiers road toll.
Why?

Ok, this one was maybe a little too specific...
they did not know that parts of Austria still had left-hand drive. 
Whoever has a new question may continue.

No, it was someone attending with Herr Hitler at the time.
A surgeon.

No one here knows the answer?
It is Hitler's surgeon: Hanskarl von Hasselbach.
When German met German in Austria. The Spring of 1938.

Even though I believe that this is true, I do not like your attitude, NoName. [img]graemlins/no.gif[/img]

Even though major parts of Austria definitely desired the Anschluss, "German met German" is, at best, an euphemism. This was an occupation, enforced with political blackmail and military force and in violation to Hitler's warranties.

A non-euphemistic one regarding the happenings of 1938. Even though many Austrians desired it to happen, the Anschluss was political blackmail and military occupation, including broken promises of Hitler. Well, worse happenings were to follow...
