Well, the places where Tanya is asigned are:

-The Republic (west, trench warfare)

-Forming a special mage battalion

-Storming enemy forces in Dacia

-Assaulting the major port of the Entent so it can be defeated

-Storming enemy HQ in the Republic so the Imperial army can launch a successful counteroffensive.

And the places where Rommel fought in WW1 were:

-France (west, trench warfare)

-Forming a special forces battalion (Kampfgruppe Rommel)

-Storming enemy forces in Romania

-Assaulting major positions in Italy so it can be defeated

-Storming French lines so the German army could launch their last offensive (Kaiserschlabt)

It's not about WW2 Rommel but about WW1 Rommel. Although he became famous during WW2, 30 years earlier he already was on the rise. In fact, if WW2 never happened he would have been remembered as one of the inventors of modern commando operations.

He also was a sociopath, to the point in which he sometimes threatened his own soldiers when they were not willig to risk their lives in an offensive. During 1914, he was scouting with three soldiers when they saw a French detachment near. He ordered his soldiers to follow him, literally saying "obey my orders instantly or I shoot you" and the four men were able to storm the Frenchmen the time needed to receive reinforcements from the rest of Rommel's platoon. This, together with the fact that he was a Sturmtruppen commander and Sturmtruppen trained in similar conditions to the training set by Tanya during episode 5 and 6, is another similarity.
