I'm glad to see your informed interest in the Erwin Rommel article. You ask "who wrote this?" - while I understand that to be rhetorical, the answer is many people with a variety of backgrounds, interests and abilities. I hope that you are not so disappointed with the article that you will not help directly to improve it. You first should read through some of the links above. It will, for one thing, point out why direct conversations with Speidel cannot be used as a source here (it would be original research) and may point you to ways you can help us out.
In particular, if you are interested, I would suggest marking questionable, uncited statements by editing the article and adding the string {{cn}}. This is one way to challenge the statement and get other editors to look for sources - or change it to something they have sources for. And if you have (as I imagine you might) sources for corrections to the text, feel free to edit the text yourself!
