Might be because both eventually become one of the biggest names in their respective armies, with Rommel being called the "Desert Fox" for his monumental efforts in leading the Axis forces in the African front of WW2 and Tanya being called the "Devil of the Rhine/Rusted Silver" and spearheading basically every major military offensive for the Imperial Army during the war.

Or it could be because they both eventually lead some of the most battle-hardened and renowned military outfits of their respective armies, with Rommel leading the 7th Panzer Division and Afrika Korps while Tanya led Flight Mage Wing 203 and the Salamander Combat Group.

It could also be because both eventually achieve very high ranks within their respective armies: Rommel being a Field Marshall and Tanya being a Lieutenant Colonel.

Their achievements and destinations in life are also similar in that they have been credited to have won victories despite overwhelming odds: Rommel managing to defeat hordes of British and American troops in Africa despite not only being far fewer in number but also with extreme lack of supplies from the home country while Tanya managed to singlehandedly wipe out entire mage platoons by herself or even entire military groups with nothing more than her skills and an understaffed mage wing. Both their peers would soon call their victories as "nothing short of a miracle" and both would eventually be highly respected for their military acumen.

Pick one. Any of them is plausible.
