As an excellent teacher, Rommel's lectures were published in a book entitled, "Infantry in the Attack" in 1935. It was the best seller in Nazi Germany and the Swiss Army adopted it as a training manual. Hitler read the book, and invited Rommel to be commander of his personal bodyguard at the 1936 Nuremberg Party Rally. Hitler treated Rommel with much respect and invited him to dine with many other privileges.
