Stresses British domination in AirPower & equipment. Structured around letters to his wife. These were the letters and field notes of Erwin Rommel, "The Desert Fox" primarily during his campaign in North Africa. I was surprised at his constant complaints of the lack of supplies as well as his frequent mention of "the superior enemy." To me, Rommel sounded as if he was right on top of things as he wrote in his notes, after inspecting the western front fortresses from Denmark to the Bay of Biscay: "What I found was depressing.....Josef Goebbels’ impregnable fortress existed only in the overactive imagination of the propaganda minister." The world knows that Rommel was accused by Hitler as part of Operation Valkyrie and was forced to commit suicide to save his family. I would bet given the right command and supplies and equipment that he would have been a superior commander. He also did not have any idea about the death camps while in Africa and only learned about then when he returned home to Germany to recuperate after being strafed . Very very long, tedious read, but worth it to a historian. The last chapter of the book was written by Manfred Rommel, his 15 year old son who was also serving in the military. His father had confided to him on the day of the suicide what he felt he must do. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
An essential collection of the wartime writings and diary of World War II German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, edited with commentary by one of the great military theorists of our time 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 and the exact details of his masterly campaigns. It was his custom to dictate each evening a running narrative of the day's events and, after each battle, to summarize its course and the lessons to be learned from it. He wrote, almost daily, intimate and outspoken letters to his wife in which his private feelings and-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 and the final day when he was given the choice of an honorable suicide or an ignominious trial for treason. An engrossing human document and a rare look at the mind of the "Desert Fox," The Rommel Papers throws an interesting light on the Axis alliance and on the inner workings of Hitler's high command.
