Uh guys... I hate to break the history to ya, but...

Rommel was a very respectable/moral man, and was a traitor to the Nazi regime -- he was involved in the plot to assassinate Hitler. He was "allowed" to commit suicide, by Hitler, after his discovery.

No officer of the Afrika Corps was ever accused of a war crime, btw. They were all very much not in line with the whole Nazi crap. They were German (and neighboring regions), and served in the German military, but that's about where the association ended.

You're going to have a lot of trouble finding generals more respectable than Rommel, especially during times of war. He and Hitler were like polar opposites. History is important guys -- don't assume stuff like that, it makes you look silly.

The average citizen of the world doesn't know which Nazi commander that is. You have to assume that the people looking at your advertisement only know what Nazi's are, not who was who and how respectable it is.

Either way, the advertising is bad.
