<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 316013, member: 2844&quot;]Well, it does say E. Rommel.</p><p>But it looks a bit feminine, with all that decoupage, and he was only just born around the time this was made. His father was also an Erwin Rommel, but his mother&#039;s name was Helene, so no E.</p><p>There are other Rommels who are not directly related to this family.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tried to find another &#039;E&#039; in this particular Rommel family, and came across the interesting fact that Rommel&#039;s wife was Polish (and part Italian). Her uncle was murdered by the Nazis before Rommel could even try to intervene.</p><p>Rommel did not adhere to the Nazi ideology, but it is surprising that he could have had such a career, being married to a supposed lesser human being (my Dutch resistance roots refuse to let me type the German term). But he was very good at what he did, of course.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just an aside, rommel is the Dutch word for garbage or junk.</p><p>My apologies to anyone named Rommel.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":sorry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
