>after WW1 his institute developed the Zyklon A gas as an insecticide, the predecessor to Zyklon B
>he converted to Christianity to marry his wife

Shit-tier leader. No wonder he was a favourite of the allies.
There was a European soldier, most likely English, that served in WWI, WWII and several other conflicts over the 20th century.
He participated in both traditional combat and espionage and saw some unbelievable action.
I believe he was missing one eye and wore an eye-patch.
The quote at the top of his Wikipedia page was something along the lines of "In all honesty I found participating in the World Wars to be rather exciting and fun, and I'd do it again if given the chance", like a fucking iron-nut bastard.
Does anyone know who this is?
The motherfucker needs a biography stat. He was basically a living, breathing character from a pulp-novel or a war-time comicbook.

If Rommel was so good, he would have been sent to the Eastern Front, but he wasn't, because his "prowess" is more propaganda myth than fact.
