General Erwin Rommel...note the eagles. Rommel was not Luftwaffe.

A German Luftwaffe General commanded all German troops in Italy for several years. Did much better than the German Luftwaffe generals leading the German air force fighting over Germany!

Maybe confused with Kesselring, aka Smiling Albert. He was German Air Force before he became a ground pounder. He turned out to be a good general in spite of not really having that much of a back ground.
