  • Moment of Awesome: "Rommel versus Zhukov" is basically one long CMOA for Erwin Rommel, but the opening especially is epic. So, June 1944 has gone amazingly well for Rommel. Not only has he defeated the Western Allies at Normandy, but the conspiracy against Hitler has succeeded, with Hitler and much of his inner circle getting blown up not long after Normandy. However, on his way back to Germany, Rommel is advised by Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg to take a quick detour to the town of Dachau, where he witnesses the full horror of the concentration camps. He then shoots the SS commandant, and orders that every SS guard be arrested and stripped of uniforms and weapons immediately. Rommel also orders that army medical units be dispatched to care for as many camp prisoners as possible. Once Stauffenberg protests that there are too many to care for, Rommel replies "Then get the good people of Dachau up here! By God, order the whole damn town up here!"
