Talk:Manfred Rommel

Obscure passage
I have deleted this: "Chancellor Helmut Kohl appointed Rommel supervisor to the Franco-German Affairs succeeding Gerhard Stoltenberg in 1995, a post he held until 1999, leaving his position to Rudolf Von Thadden" because it is unclear what it means. What is "supervisor to the Franco-German Affairs"? Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 09:18, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

List of honours - joke entry?
I notice among Manfred's listed honours "1982: Medal for Combating Deadly Seriousness". There is no citation, I wonder if it was a joke or a mock award presented by an informal society? If it did not exist, deletion proposed.Cloptonson (talk) 15:01, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

The "Orden wieder dem tierischen Ernst" is a "serious honor" for humor in the public space. It is awarded once a year and is given to people who showed humanity and humor while in public service. It is notable that most knights of the order are members of the federal government and most are well known German politicians. I would highly recommend to leave it in since it is quite an honor and it shows a bit the personality of Rommel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.144.227.90 (talk) 04:27, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Terminology
In February 1945, Rommel was dismissed from air force service and in March was conscripted into the paramilitary Reichsarbeitsdienst service.
 * 'Dismissed' sounds like a penalty that would need qualifying. Or was he simply transferred? Valetude (talk) 22:15, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
