I have made a little research about who could be this character at the history of World War II.
Here! It looks like i have found him.
His name is General Jurgin von Arnim. He was sent to North Africa to bolster the Axis units there during World War II.
So i believe he is the "real" Axis Commander.
You can even see his wand at his hand:
Additional note: I just opened another thread about who could be the "real" Alliance General. You can check it here:
