German journalist and historian (born 1952)

**Ralf Georg Reuth** (born 4 June 1952 in [Oberfranken](/source/Oberfranken)) is a German journalist and historian.[1] Reuth studied with [Andreas Hillgruber](/source/Andreas_Hillgruber) and wrote his Ph.D. on the German strategy in the Mediterranean from 1940 to 1942.[1] He published several books dealing with the Nazi era, among them a biography of [Joseph Goebbels](/source/Joseph_Goebbels) in 1992 and of [Hitler](/source/Adolf_Hitler) in 2003. Reuth also edited a multivolume selection from the diaries of Joseph Goebbels, which drew criticism notably from Bernd Sösemann.[1] He also wrote biographies of [Erwin Rommel](/source/Erwin_Rommel), [Angela Merkel](/source/Angela_Merkel) and [Helmut Kohl](/source/Helmut_Kohl).

Reuth's 2004 book *Rommel: Das Ende einer Legende*, dedicated to the topic of the [Rommel myth](/source/Rommel_myth), has started the reevaluation of Rommel's role in history.[2] The book was published in English in 2005 as *Rommel: The End of a Legend*.
