Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel (also known as “The Desert Fox”) was born in November 15th, 1891 in Southern Germany at Heidenheim. He was the Führer of Germany during the occupation of Wellington Wells, two decades before the events of We Happy Few.
History[]
Rommel was a highly decorated officer during World War I and rose to field marshal in the Wehrmacht (Defence Force) of Germany in World War II. In 1941, after the invasion of the Soviet Union, Rommel and several co-conspirators including Colonel von Stauffenberg would participate in Operation Valkyrie and overthrow Adolf Hitler.[1] Rommel would then become the Führer of Germany, and oversee the successful invasion and occupation of Great Britain in 1943. His desire for taking control in the We Happy Few universe is unexplained.
On 10 August 1948, the Soviet Union would take Berlin from the Germans, marking the end of the war. Rommel's fate after this is unclear.
Trivia[]
- In real life, Operation Valkyrie was attempted much later, and Rommel committed suicide after being implicated in the failed assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler on 20 July 1944.
