Ervinu Romelu

Ervinu Romelu was a Sicilian field marshall born in Weissach and served in World War Two, primarily in the African Campaign against the Novus Ordo and the SS forces commanded by Jimmy Martin and Giacomo Lercaro.

Being born in Weissach to a wealthy Sicilian family he was exposed to German culture at a young age and at 18 had left to train at the Holy Roman Empires finest military academy and graduated at the top of his class before travelling to Trapani to enlist in the Sicilian Officer Corp in 1912 and was quickly sent to yet another officer academy in Catania in 1913 for even more training.

In 1923 following King Giovanni Gentile's reform of the monarchy into Fascism, Romelu was appointed as the head of the army because of his staunch support of Gentile and his military brilliance.

In 1925, Romelu was sent to Egypt to command the invading force during the invasion of Egypt. Initially making great progress and defeating the under equipped and poorly trained Egyptian army, Romelu had nearly secured Egypt in a few weeks. Underestimating the Egyptians, he had nearly taken Cairo, but an unexpected army sent from TinyTown had landed in Cairo. The TinyTown Reds dug in and destroyed the overzealous Sicilian army, forcing a retreat and the end of the war followed by the Treaty of Cairo.

Despite this defeat, Romelu maintained his position as head of the army and continued to train Sicilian officers until 1935 where he was sent as an envoy to Germany to train Imperial garrisons on urban warfare against the NSDAP, but was transferred to Tunis in 1941 after suspicions of a potential NSDAP invasion into Sicilian occupied Tunisia. In 1942 after the NSDAP had declared war on Sicily, Romelu quickly launched an offensive into Algeria but was beaten back by the NSDAP and sent retreating back to Tunis. After British forces had landed to assist the NSDAP, the opposing army had around 11,500 troops compared to Romelu's 2,500. Digging in, he had recruited around 500 locals to his army, and sent them north to distract the NSDAP's army while the main Sicilian armored division flanked and encircled the NSDAP's army, crushing the NSDAP in a 2 day battle.

Following this victory, Romelu was sent north to Austria to help in the defensive campaign there, where with his strategical cunning and prior experience fighting he was able to turn the tide by using small diversion tactics, securing the victory against St. Hitler and ending the war.

After the war Romelu served for a few more years before retiring in 1951 to live peacefully in his estate in Weissach with his family before dying peacefully in his sleep in 1973 at the age of 81, where even up to his death his opposed the recently formed Novus Ordo and donated most of his savings to the Vatican to help stop it.
