Inhaltsangabe

Erwin Rommel (1891-1944) was one of the best-known German field commanders of World War II. Was he a military genius or failure? Hero or traitor? And from whose perspective? The future Field Marshal grew up in a solid German home in Swabia, the son of a schoolmaster, mathematician and ex-artillery man. Forced to go to a military academy, his early assessments showed no indications of future brilliance. Repeatedly decorated for valour, the First World War veteran would go on the lead German Panzer divisions in North Africa, where he became famous as the 'Desert Fox', and France, the scenes of his greatest military triumphs and defeats. His death in October 1944 would give rise to speculation for generations to come on how history should judge him. Could or would this man have been an accomplice in the 20 July 1944 conspiracy plot to assassinate Hitler? The answer has shifted with the political winds sweeping Germany since then. The new biography on the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II attempts to unveil this man, stripping away the layers of propaganda created by both the Nazis and Allies for their own political purposes, to arrive at an objective assessment.
