Description

Adolf Hitler invaded Western Europe on 10 May 1940. After breaking through the supposedly "impenetrable" Ardennes, Erwin Rommel was at the forefront of the Wehrmacht's audacious drive through France. Rommel, who had no prior experience leading an armored division in combat, moved with such speed and nerve that he frequently surprised French units by arriving far earlier than expected. Crossing the Meuse River, we follow Rommel - in what he referred to as "practically a lightning Tour de France" - as he pushed through northern France to the English Channel. His spectacular victory at the coastal port of Saint-Valéry-en-Caux was crowned by the capture of Cherbourg. Following the armistice, Rommel was involved in reenacting certain battles, such as crossing the Somme, for the documentary "Sieg im Westen" (Victory in the West). This is the story of Rommel and the 7th Panzer Division - the so-called "Ghost Division" - in France, 1940.
