Rommel's son and Monty's son - in the news

This might interest quite a few of you out there who, like me, have at least a passing interest in military history.

Rommel's son, Manfred, has just died aged 84. He was famous for forging a friendship with Montgomery's son. It's an interesting tale that will resonate with many, not least with regard to the injustice served upon Rommel who was forced (by Hitler) into suicide. Germany's greatest military hero? As the legendary Desert Fox, he was certainly the most famous.
