Before we get too far ahead another WWI exam question:
Identify the highly decorated young German Lieutenant from the Italian Front who later became one of the key generals in WWII.
How did he impact the events of WWII and how did his WWI experience influence his thinking and decision making?
Erwin Rommel.
His experiences in Italy in WWI lead him to rewrite German doctrine on infantry maneuvers and tactics; leading to the highly advanced use of small units, fire-and-maneuver, assault, and basically everything else the Germans did that was groundbreaking in WWII in terms of infantry and armor.
