| German military leader Erwin Rommel was promoted to field marshal after displaying his genius in desert-warfare tactics in North Africa during World War II (1939–1945). After his eventual defeat by British Lieutenant General Bernard Montgomery in August 1942, Rommel was transferred by Hitler to defend the beaches of Normandy, in northern France, against the anticipated Allied invasion. | ||||||
