Best Rommel Yet (1 Viewer)

I agree with you, Mike, the War Park General Rommel figure is awesome! I like the General Guderian figure as well. I’ve got both displayed on a book shelf with copies of their respective works (title is hard to see on my first edition copy of The Rommel Papers).

I don't know but you don't find a cactus in the North Africa desert only in America North to South, right? The figurine looks very good
I wondered about that-lol
 
That 'Cactus' looks like a 'Prickly Pear' (Opuntia stricta), they were imported into Africa (and Australia etc) from America many years ago and would have been common in arid areas of Africa during WW2. They became a pest species in several countries, Australia wiped them out with the introduction of a moth (Cactoblastas cactorum) that attacks the plant. I have seen the occassional plant in arid areas in Australia, but they are now rare here.
