Last name of the well accomplished German soldier and general Erwin Rommel. Disgusted with Hitler's disregard for the well being of Germany and his strategic decisions that needlessly cost many lives, Rommel took part in the plot to displace him. The coup failed and he was forced to take his own life. For some reason his name is extensively used as a screen-name in online gameplay, but only the most inferior of players use that title, completely contradictory to the real Rommel's record. It is also tied with 1337 ocassionally, which is equally perplexing as Rommel certainly did not play video games.
