The Armies of Rommel

Résumé du livre

Brilliant tactician, daring commander, and strong-willed leader: Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's battlefield maneuvers remain unsurpassed. The Desert Fox superbly employed blitzkrieg techniques and distinguished himself in the most perilous campaigns. A noted historian, and former tank commander like Rommel himself, probes the legendary fighter's military life, his forces, armaments, and strategies. Each phase of the wartime operation comes into clear focus, including the layout of Hitler's organization, staffing, German Army battle dress, plans for each assault, and available arsenal. A wealth of facts and archival photographs highlight this in-depth study, aa well as Rommel's complicated feelings about the Nazi cause.
