Wer war Erwin Rommel? – Hitlers Feldherr | SPIEGEL TV

To this day, Erwin Rommel is considered an apolitical military leader who brought the British to the brink of a bitter defeat in North Africa with his ingenious ideas. However, the energetic field marshal owed his myth above all to Nazi propaganda. With his first victories, the »Desert Fox« became the star of the Nazi newsreel in 1942. But the supposed triumphal procession for Adolf Hitler ended in disaster. While the Germans were crushingly defeated in EL-Alamein at the end of 1942, Rommel was tasked with fending off the Allied invasion on the Atlantic Wall. The general later realized the utter hopelessness of the situation - and Hitler's inability to admit military defeat. To this day, researchers are divided as to what consequences Rommel drew from this. Did he place himself at the disposal of the resistance fighters of July 20th - and how much did he know about the planned Hitler assassination? The Nazi regime and its perpetrators. How did the actors in Hitler's ranks make their careers and what atrocities were they prepared to carry out?
