Immediately after Hitler scolded, he sent a telegram to Rommel, which was one of the most famous telegrams in the Second World War: "Dear Marshal Rommel, all the German people and I are watching your heroic defense in Egypt with firm belief in your leadership and the heroism of the German-Italian army under your leadership. In view of your present situation, there is no doubt that there is no way out except to hold your ground and never take a step back and let every rifle and soldier fight ... The power of will can defeat powerful enemies, which is common in history. You can point out to your people that there is no alternative but victory or death. Adolf Hitler ".
