In World War One he fought in France and Romania. He got success leading groups of men through the enemy line undercover. Attacking defenders by surprise. He had great courage, making quick decisions. Erwin never liked Hitler. He opposed assisting him as well. Erwin Rommel wanted Hitler to be arrested. So he planned a plot against him. Erwin had been ordered to commit suicide by Adolf hitler. He had to poison himself because of his plot to assassinate the nazi leader. He died within a few seconds by biting on a cyanide capsule. He told His son before he died that he was forced to commit suicide. In his career he had achieved many awards including the Oberst and Fahnrich.
