Did you know Rommel toured the South during the 20's or early 30's studying the cavalry tactics of N. B. Forrest and J. E. B. Stewart? They helped him form his own tank tactics for the blitzkrieg.

Actually, that is an apocryphal story. People still debate whether it happened. Proof exists that Rommel was never stationed in or visited the US while proof that he was ever here is pretty non-existent.
