Goebbels walked, notepad in hand, to where he knew he could find Rommel. He strolled up to his house and tapped on the door, and adjusted his hat and tie as he cleared his throat. Once the door opened, he immediately said, "I have a message for you." He tried to muscle past him just then, (which was difficult with his club foot and all) and then he waited until they were in private silence. He passed the notepad to Rommel then. "He who controls the spice controls Europe."
