German field marshal (1891–1944) who earned the sobriquet “The Desert Fox” for his tactical genius as Commander of the Afrika Korps. In 1944 he was implicated in a plot to assassinate Hitler; given the choice of suicide or a trial, he ended his own life with poison. Matte-finish 2.25 x 3.25 photo of Rommel outdoors in wintertime, several soldiers visible behind him, signed in ink “Rommel.” Slightly irregular ink adhesion, otherwise fine, clean condition. Quite unusual in ink-signed images! R&R COA.
