Erwin ROMMEL Memorial Germany Heidenheim Afrikakorps
Erwin Rommel (15 November 1891 – 14 October 1944) was a German general and military theorist. Popularly known as the Desert Fox, he served as field marshal in the Wehrmacht (Defense Force) of Nazi Germany during World War II, as well as serving in the Reichswehr of the Weimar Republic, and the army of Imperial Germany.
Rommel was a highly decorated officer in World War I and was awarded the Pour le Mérite for his actions on the Italian Front. In 1937 he published his classic book on military tactics, Infantry Attacks, drawing on his experiences from World War I. In World War II, he distinguished himself as the commander of the 7th Panzer Division during the 1940 invasion of France. His leadership of German and Italian forces in the North African campaign established his reputation as one of the most able tank commanders of the war, and earned him the nickname der Wüstenfuchs, the Desert Fox. Among his British adversaries he had a reputation for chivalry, and his phrase war without hate has been used to describe the North African campaign.[2] He later commanded the German forces opposing the Allied cross-channel invasion of Normandy in June 1944.
Rommel supported the Nazi seizure of power and Adolf Hitler, although his reluctant stance towards antisemitism and Nazi ideology and his level of knowledge of the Holocaust remain matters of debate among scholars.[3][4][5][6][7] In 1944, Rommel was implicated in the 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler. Due to Rommel's status as a national hero, Hitler desired to eliminate him quietly instead of immediately executing him, as many other plotters were. Rommel was given a choice between committing suicide, in return for assurances that his reputation would remain intact and that his family would not be persecuted following his death, or facing a trial that would result in his disgrace and execution; he chose the former and committed suicide using a cyanide pill.[8] Rommel was given a state funeral, and it was announced that he had succumbed to his injuries from the strafing of his staff car in Normandy.
Rommel has become a larger-than-life figure in both Allied and Nazi propaganda, and in postwar popular culture, with numerous authors considering him an apolitical, brilliant commander and a victim of the Third Reich although this assessment is contested by other authors as the Rommel myth. Rommel's reputation for conducting a clean war was used in the interest of the West German rearmament and reconciliation between the former enemies – the United Kingdom and the United States on one side and the new Federal Republic of Germany on the other. Several of Rommel's former subordinates, notably his chief of staff Hans Speidel, played key roles in German rearmament and integration into NATO in the postwar era. The German Army's largest military base, the Field Marshal Rommel Barracks, Augustdorf, is named in his honour.

January 26th 1934 - German-Polish Non-Aggression Pact | HISTORY CALENDAR
After the coming into force of the Versailles Treaty, Polish troops occupy the areas assigned by Germany and cut off East Prussia from the rest of the German Empire. Danzig as a free city is put under the mandate of the League of Nations. The one million Germans living in the eastern regions feel disadvantaged. The rules of the Treaty strain the German-Polish relations during the Weimar Republic. After the Nazis seizure of power Hitler takes steps towards Poland. He lets his Foreign Minister Konstantin von Neurath lead exploratory talks with Poland. On January 26th 1934 the Foreign Minister signs the German-Polish non-aggression pact. It only lasts five and a half years. This non-aggression pact just as those later agreed upon with the Soviet Union was pure tactical calculation. Hitler saw Poland as a supplier of raw materials a satellite state and wanted to weaken the political axis of Warsaw-Paris. He never gave up his plans to subjugate all of Eastern and Central Europe.

Weimar Berlin: Dajos Béla Tanz-Orch. - Alabastra, 1922
Sándor Józsi (Dajos Béla) Tanz-Kapelle: Alabastra, Foxtrot (uncredited composer) Odeon Record c. 1922/23 (Germany; accoustical recording)
NOTE: Next to Marek Weber, Paul Godwin and Otto Dobrindt, Dajos Béla (né Leon Golzmann) was the most popular and most prolific dance bandleader in Germany of the Goldene Zwanziger Jahre. The number of his recordings is unaccountable, as he recorded under his adopted name Dajos Béla , under the pseudonyms e.g. Sándor Józsi, Kapelle Merton, and anonymously (Odeon Tanz-Orchester - which covered also Otto Dobrindt's Dobbri Saxophon-Orchester). Born in Kiev from the Ukrainian Jew and the Hungarian mother, he studied law, yet with the onset of the 1stWW, as Russian citizen he served in the Tzarist army until 1917. After outbreak of the Bolshevik revolution, he stayed for some time in St. Petersburg (then renamed as Piotrogrod) and in Moscow, where he studied music in the class of violine. In 1920, he managed to leave Soviet Russia and he settled in Berlin.
For livelihood he played violin in the small venues in North Berlin and he adopted his stage name Dajos Béla from a fellow musician, who died of drugs. (Another version: Béla was his mother's maiden name). His musical skills and Hungarian looks quickly earned him popularity among restaurant owners and hotel managers troughout Berlin, where he was billed as the violin- primas to underline his Hungarian flair. In c. 1921 he established his own band, with which he made first recordings for Carl Lindström's company (brands: Odeon, Parlophon, Beka) under the nickname Sándor Józsi Tanz-Kapelle. The tumbling of the monarchies in Central Europe, left the cosmopolitan audience full of nostalgy for the lost imperial days. Therefore, many recording artists of the time wore Hungarian and Romanian pseudonyms, eg. Take Bănescu, Arpad Városz and Jenő Fesca at Homocord, Gyorgi Vintilescu, Nicu Vladescu and Joan Florescu for Grammophon or Geza Komor for Tri Ergon). This continued until 2nd half of the 1920s, when the changing economic and political situation transformed the image of entertainers.
Béla's Orchestra quickly climbed to the top of popularity in Germany; his discs sold in millions and were exported all over the world. In mid-1920s, in the first heyday of jazz music, Béla, like many of his colleagues started the series of dance-jazz recordings, including newest American hits such as Ain't She Sweet, Black Bottom, Ice Cream or Who. Also, his band's staff absorbed internationally recognized jazz-musicians such as pianist and singer Rex Allen or the banjo player Mike Danzi . From 1927, the ensemble started performing also under the Americanised names of The Odeon Five, Mac's Jazz Orchestra or Clive Williams Jazz Band. With the advent of the talkies Béla took the opportunity to perform with his band in movies. So you saw him, among other things, in 1931 Jeder fragt nach Erika (Everyone Asks Erika), Ein Lied, ein Kuss, ein Mädel (A Song, a Kiss, a Girl) and Gitta entdeckt ihr Herz (Gitta Discovered Her Heart). His band accompanied most popular film actors like Marta Eggerth, Richard Tauber or Max Hansen.
All that came to end, when in the spring of 1933 the Nazis came to power. Béla's Orchestra went on tour, first to Holland, then to Paris and London, to play in the renowned Monseigneur and Palladium. In Vienna he performed the 1935 talkie Tanzmusik, after which he was offered a contract by Radio Splendid in Buenos Aires. On 2 March he left Eorope from Boulogne -sur -Mer in France, accompanied by several members of his orchestra. He was to go back to Berlin not earlier than 1970. In Argentina, Dajos Béla led very active artistic life, first involved with Radio Splendid and later Radio El Mundo, where for years he led a daily radio program. He also played in several dance cafés, including the Richmond and El Galeon. Thanks to his success, he was able to help multiple endangered Jewish musicians emigrate from Europe, by arranging for them the contracts to play with his orchestra. So he saved many lives. (The Hungarian singer Tino Dani was one of them). However, in the pass of years Dajos Béla's popularity started to wane. In Argentina and in other countries the live music slowly disappeared from the coffee houses. He could still hold a few years with engagements at weddings and on cruise ships afloat, but his Mittel-European genre was more and more loosing its attraction. He was happy, when in 1970 he got the invitation of the Senate of Berlin to come to Germany and receive honors. Dajos Béla died at the age of 80 in La Falda, a mountain resort in Argentina. He is buried in the Jewish cemetery of La Tablada, Buenos Aires.
