Relatives

[Professor S]

The history of my family is a bit iffy when it comes to war. My great uncle (or great great, I'm not sure) was Irwin Von Rommel, the Desert Fox and Field Marshall of the Nazi war machine.

While he was responsible for much of the military death on behalf of Hitler, he also tried to organize the assasination attempt of Hitler also. He beliveed Hitler to be imbalanced and a threat to Germany.

I won't say that he was sympathetic to the plight of the Jew during those days, but he viewed Hitlers obsession with their destruction as counterproductive to the war effort.

On the other side of my family I am a member of the Stuart Clan of Scotland, and share lineage with James I, Mary Queen of Scotts, Charles I, Charles 2, and James 2.
