One of the most important part in learning about Erwin Rommel was one of his quotes. It goes by saying, “ Don’t fight a battle if you don't gain anything by winning.” I think that his can say a lot to people that like getting into trouble and fighting for no reason. One of his other quotes are “In a man-to-man fight, the winner is he who has one more round in his magazine.” I think that his quote is a funny one.
