The PNL mayor of Reșița, Ioan Popa, present at an electoral event in Băile Herculane, launched an attack on the PSD, during which he praised the Field Marshal of the Third Reich, Erwin Rommel, who committed genocide in Africa.
In front of PNL leader Nicolae Ciucă and PNL Secretary General Nicolae Bode, Ioan Popa compared himself to Erwin Rommel. Bizarrely, Ioan Popa was also applauded openly for what he had just said.
“We'll go over them (over PSD), we'll go over them just like Rommel's panzers did in North Africa. That's how we'll get past them... like the panzers.” said Ioan Popa
Who was Erwin Rommell
Rommel was the commanding general of the German troops in Africa, the Wehrmacht troops known as Deutsches Afrikakorps, which earned him the nickname Desert Fox due to his successful military campaigns for the German army in the North African Campaign. He was later appointed commander of German forces to oppose the Allied invasion of Normandy.
