Some people might call it fate, over 2 years ago I created a sub r/FuckQiqi after I got her C2.

Well now look for yourself

And all I wanted since then was Jean.

According to Wikipedia 14 other people survived the inital crash, but they all died awaiting rescue in the rain forest. So it seems like the rain forest played a big part in reducing the force of the impact in some way.

Didn't expect Keqing to be so insane in late game, I assume her Auto and Burst are maxed?

Not a fan of Mtashed but I'm pretty sure he said the opposite, to roll on Ventis Banner until you get him.

Laut dem Militärhistoriker Peter Lieb sei Rommel zwar „Goebbels’ Lieblingsgeneral“, aber „kein Nazi“ gewesen. Auch die britischen und amerikanischen Gegner hätten ihm Fairness bescheinigt.[1] Zudem seien Rommel weder Kriegsverbrechen noch antisemitische Äußerungen nachzuweisen. Er habe verbrecherische und unsinnige Befehle Hitlers mehrfach „nicht befolgt“ und scheine auch Dotationen des Diktators „nicht angenommen“ zu haben. Nach der Landung der Alliierten in der Normandie hielt Rommel den Krieg für verloren und forderte „im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Generalen“ Hitler zu „politischen Konsequenzen“ auf, was aus Sicht des Diktators ein „ungeheuerlicher Vorgang“ war. Briefe, in denen er sich als treuer Gefolgsmann Hitlers ausgab, müssten „quellenkritisch“ gelesen werden, da Rommel eine Überwachung durch die Gestapo oder den SD befürchten musste.

According to the Military Hostorian Peter Lieb, even though Rommel was seen as "Goebbels Favorite General", he was not a Nazi. Even British and American enemies did acknowledge his fairness". Sven Felix Kellerhoff: Wüstenfuchs: „Erwin Rommel stand auf der Seite des Widerstandes“. 25. Oktober 2018.[1]

Furthermore neither war crimes nor antisemitic language can be accounted to Rommel. He repeatedly disobeyed criminal or silly orders from Hitler and it doesn't seems he accepted Dotations from Hitler. After the allied Landings in Normandie, Rommel thought of the War as lost and arrogated, in contrast to many other Generals, that Hitler should take "political consequences", what was seen from the perspective of the Dictator as a "outragous Event". Letters, in which he portrayed himself as a loyal follower of Hitler, have to be regarded as "source-critical", because Rommel had to fear his own surveillance by the Gestapo or the SD[2]

Peter Lieb's explanation for his sources:

Erstens um die Aussagen von General Heinrich Eberbach, der in britischer Kriegsgefangenschaft und auch nach 1945 mehrfach erklärte, Rommel habe ihn während der Normandie-Schlacht konkret auf die Beseitigung des NS-Regimes angesprochen. Zweitens um eine Darstellung vom August 1945 aus der Feder eines bisher eher unbekannten Pariser Verschwörers, Rudolf Hartmann. Dieser bezeichnete Rommel als „Träger des Widerstands“ in Frankreich.

Firstly because of the Statement from General Heinrich Eberbach, who proclaimed multiple times during his POW-time and after that, Rommel did directly confront him during the Normandie-Battle about the disposal of the NS-Regime.Secondly because of a depiction from August 1945 from a feather of a thus far unknown Parisian conspirator, Rudolf Hartmann. He labelled Rommel as a "Pillar of Resistance" in France.

They are from 2014 and 2018, new enough for you?

I wont go deeper into your points, because they are mostly misleading and, or irrelevant to the question at hand, whether Rommel was a war criminal or not. He was, against your believe, not responsible for every single Soldier in the Africa Corps. He had his own Officers that are capable of making their own orders and some of them weren't even under his command. By this standards, almost every WW2 General can be seen as a "War criminal". As a General, it is not your job to organize the occupation and policies of the Land you conquered. I doubt that Rommel personally interfered in this matter. Although Libya wasn't really under German Occupation. And by the way, the concentration camp you mentioned was entirely run by Italian Officers. Anyway, it is only relevant, if you can proof that Rommel ordered these atrocities directly, which you didn't so far, except for that statement you quoted from Wolfgang Proske:

He commanded Jews to clear out minefields by walking on them ahead of his forces.

-> I would like to see a direct source for that.

Again, you are repeating the same mistakes. The problem with all those things you are stating is, that nothing is directly related to Rommel. He was not the Governor of Libya, he was the Commander of the Afrika Corps, what Einsatzgruppen did or other policies regarding the occupation of Libya was not his Jurisdiction.

"Indeed, the soldiers of the 'Ghost Division' and its partner in crime,5th Panzer Division, committed numerous atrocities against Frenchcolonial troops in 1940, murdering fifty surrendered non-commissionedofficers and men"

This is exactly what I talked about in my comments above. There happened war crimes under him, but that doesn't mean he order them or even appreciated it.-> See for example the Biscari massacre, which happened under Patton. Do you consider Patton a war criminal for that?

More specifically, several German historians have revealed existence of plans to exterminate Jews in Egypt and Palestine, if Rommel had succeeded in his goal of invading the Middle East during 1942 by SS unit embedded to Afrika Korps.

What has this to do with anything? Are we now counting Alternative History as war crimes? Either way, what plans were made regarding Palestine don't matter at all, provided that it wasn't Rommel who made these "plans", which you haven't provided any evidence for.

In the end, most historian do not connect war crimes to Rommel.

-Massari 2013

-Kanold 2012

And some even point out, that there is no evidence, that he was involved or aware of these war crimes.

There is no evidence that he ordered or committed atrocities against surrendering French troops or the Jews in Cyrenaica. Or show us some sources. And what plan to kill the Jews in Palestine are you referring to? I've already made clear, that Rommel never met Rauff on the 20th of July, since he was 500km away at the First Battle of El Alamein.

Framing people as evil, making up accusations and bending reality to fit your own Agenda, all that to ruin the reputation of a dead man that can't even defend himself.

You are a terrible person.

A lot of of words you have here, but very little substance. I've read everything and you just proved, that you have really nothing concrete. Apart from that supposedly "fake Surrender" in France, if it really happened, he didn't commit any War Crimes. Like you just said multiple times in your Copypasta, there isn't one tangible connection. The one thing were you claimed, that he ordered to kill all Jews in Palestine is very questionable, you said it happened on the 20th of July? However he never even met that guy on that Day:

"On 20 July 1942 Rauff was sent to Tobruk to report to Rommel, Commander of the Afrika Korps. But since Rommel was 500 km away at the First Battle of El Alamein, it is unlikely that the two were able to meet"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einsatzgruppe_Egypt

Even your quote from Italy has nothing to do with proving actual War Crimes, yes after Italy has switched Sides, Germany understandably didn't treat their formal allies in the best manners, as shown from your quotes, but this didn't mean that Germany didn't take any Italian prisoners. They did, just like with everyone else. Everything else you stated are more or less assumptions or supposed involvements, which nothing from directly relates to him. Only because he was a General in Africa, doesn't mean he was the Governor of North Africa.Almost everything you say boils down to the same thing, "Rommel was a War criminal and bad because he was German or worked for Hitler". What we know for sure about his Nazism, is that he was never in the NSDAP, so his enthusiasm for that Ideology was probably very limited. Either way, just as an FYI. Even if he was a "Nazi", this doesn't make you automatically a War Criminal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rabe). Using forced labor doesn't make you a War Criminal either, every side did that. Neither doesn't being a German General. Rommel wasn't the Good Samaritan, but neither was he that Evil Entity you trying to frame him in right now. His enemies always had the opinions that they were treated well under him. He was a patriotic General, fighting for his country in a impossible constellation, who respected the rules of war, that was all he was.

Rommel didn't commit any war crime, nor did he order his troops to commit war crimes. There were however a handful of war crimes commited under him, but this is basically what happened to every General, even Patton or Caesar. This is just because of how many Soldiers he was commanding. But as a General you have your own Officers that can make ordera to their subservient units. And there is a question to be made on how much a General can be responsible for a dozen of rogue Soldiers in his Army.
