Background information 
Incidentally, no SS unit had, historically at least, served under Rommel in Africa, making the claim for Karr's character a bit incongruous.

The  for the  episode  described  as being "purely a professional military man, a Rommel, not interested in politics". 

It was Rommel, then a tank division general, who almost by accident discovered in the May 1940 campaign in France, when improvising turning back an unexpected British tank counter attack, that the famed and feared German , referred to by Vosk in the  episode , turned out to be a formidable ant-tank weapon as well. The gun served to great effect in both roles for the remainder of the war, attaining a fearsome reputation as an Allied tank killer – especially when mounted on the later German tank types.
