Milos, soviet sniper, of stalingrad and Enemy at the Gates fame.
However, you cannot just ask a question, you must answer the one that is in play, which, as of right now, is Friedrich's

OK, Martin. Glad to see you are back. I was waiting precisely for you to answer the question. But the first part is WRONG! Why nobody understands that the Afrika Korps was only a miserable Army Corps that included only two Panzer divisions... Colonel general Hans Jürgen von Arnim was commander of the V Panzer Army and later, commander of Army Group 'Afrika'.
Commanders:
Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel (14 Feb 1941 - 15 Aug 1941)
Generalleutnant Ferdinand Schaal (15 Aug 1941 - 1 Sep 1941)
General der Panzertruppen Philipp Müller-Gebhard (1 Sep 1941 - 15 Sep 1941)
General der Panzertruppen Ludwig Crüwell (15 Sep 1941 - 9 Mar 1942)
General der Panzertruppen Walther Nehring (9 Mar 1942 - 19 Mar 1942)
General der Panzertruppen Ludwig Crüwell (19 Mar 1942 - 29 May 1942)
General der Panzertruppen Walther Nehring (29 May 1942 - 31 Aug 1942)
Generalleutnant Fritz Bayerlein (31 Aug 1942 - 1 Sep 1942)
General der Panzertruppen Gustav von Värst (1 Sep 1942 - 2 Sep 1942)
General der Panzertruppen Wilhelm Ritter von Thoma (2 Sep 1942 - 13 Nov 1942)
General der Panzertruppen Gustav Fehn (13 Nov 1942 - 15 Jan 1943)
General der Panzertruppen Hans Cramer (28 Feb 1943 - 16 May 1943)
I see it was too difficult... But mArin, you are right on the VIII Army. Just name the Middle East commanders and it'll be yourn turn!

Sniper. That's not the answer. (Not even the question)...
And Munken. This is not the place to ask questions IF you HAVEN'T answered the question in turn. I knw the answer of that, but you'll have to make a thread in the "Information Requests" forum.

Erich, if you believe in God then you have to realize facts. Let's take the dinosaurs for example. God created the animals on the 7th day says the "holy Bible". The dinosaurs isn't mentioned at all. Though we have proof that it was big mutha fuckers on earth that was demolished by a meteor. And if God is in heaven, then I think that he is a little bit full of oles when we have planes flying 24/7.
Chew on that one.
And a meaning of life, come on. We also know that humans was 'fishes' that came up on land and started to develop into apes, then humans. We are just animals with a high evolved brain.

Yes, we are. But that doesn't give you any right to claim that God exist or doesn't exist. Firts, it is the right of everyone to believe what we want and second and most important, this is not the place to discuss about this. If you do not know who were the British commanders of the Middle East then do not post anything here.
And you MUST take care of the language you use.

Munken--calm that language down please--it's not tolerated or common language on these forums. Perhapse that is why the other forums you were on no one posts on?
Oh and yes--I DO believe in the LORD GOD and do believe in the hereafter. I personally know a few Athiests and I am friends with one but--he knows better than to mention religion ~~OR~~ NON~religion in any way, shape or form; when we converse.
I have little doubts where my soul will go after I pass away.

My concience tells me not to post this, but Friedrich is some times very irrational... [img]graemlins/no.gif[/img]
Well, even the two great atheists Plato and Aristotle admitted the existence of a 'Maxim Idea' and a 'Last Cause'...
And if you are some Nietzsche fan, all I have to say is: "I'm sorry..." [img]redface.gif[/img]
