Second viewing (First one: February 07, 1989)
Biography of one of Germany's World War II generals, who commanded the Afrikakorps, and later joined the conspiracy to kill Hitler.
An interesting film, about the dilemma of the military man's position. It has to be said, however, that Churchill's statement, shown in the end of the movie, that Rommel "came to hate Hitler and all his works", has no evidence in the film to support it. What the film does show is that Hitler was a disastrous military commander, and that is all there is to the conflict with Rommel, per this film. The use of Churchill's phrase is a romanticization, an attempt to go beyond the limits of the film itself.
