Rommel - The Desert Fox [DVD]

A good overview of Rommel's life and particularly his military leadership of the Afrika Korps in North Africa. No doubt the interviewees wished to re dress the 'propaganda' image of Rommel and his achievements but their basic lack of understanding of how a driven field commander such as Rommel or say, Guderian achieved what they did exactly because they did take risks that appear 'reckless' undermines their criticisms. The footage used is good quality but nothing not already seen in a quality TV production such as 'World At War' which has a very good 'war in the desert' installment. The sound and transfer from video are acceptable and overall this is an above average 'War File' DVD.

Good story, good film footage.
