Synopsis:
When Erwin Rommel died by forced suicide at Hitler's command he left behind in various ingenious hiding places the papers that recorded the story of his dramatic career & the exact details of his masterly campaigns. It was his custom to dictate each evening a running narrative of the day's events &, after each battle, to summarize its course & the lessons to be learned from it. He wrote, almost daily, intimate & outspoken letters to his wife in which his private feelings &, after the tide had turned, forebodings found expression. To this is added by Rommel's son Manfred the story of the field marshall's last weeks & the final day when he was given the choice of an honorable suicide or an ignominious trial for treason. An engrossing human document & a rare look at the mind of the Desert Fox, The Rommel Papers throws an interesting light on the Axis alliance & on the inner workings of Hitler's high command.
