In a few years after World War II, monuments were erected and commemorations were held throughout Germany in memory of the victims of the war. The veterans of Afrikakorps also erected a memorial to honor "The Desert Fox" Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel in Heidenheim. The monument was unveiled on 15 November 1961, which marks 70 years since Rommel was born in Heidenheim. In the photo we can see Lucie Maria Rommel, the widow, and the President of the organization of veterans of the Afrika Korps, the ex-General der Kavallerie Siegfried Westphal.
