En 1940 luchó contra, pero no pudo evitar, la mayor humillación de la historia de la Francia que tanto amaba. ¿Cómo se recuperó Charles De Gaulle de ésto? ¿Cómo preservó el espíritu de Francia? ¿Y luego, Cómo ayudó a liberar a su nación y liderarla como la figura política más importante desde Napoleón?

Erwin Rommel ha alcanzado un estatus casi legendario como el Mariscal de Campo alemán de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Principalmente por su astucia para burlar y superar a sus enemigos aliados, actualmente es conocido como el Zorro del Desierto. Este es un logro realmente notable, dado el odio al nazismo tras la estela de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Pero el Veredicto de la Historia se cuestiona si es un premio que se merece.

Erwin Rommel has achieved almost legendary status as the German Field Marshall of World war Two? Mainly for his cunning in outwitting and outmaneuvering his allied enemies he is now known as the desert fox. This is a truly remarkable achievement, given the hatred for Nazism in the wake of World War Two. But History’s Verdict asks if this is a deserving accolade?

We trace the growth of De Gaulle: the precocious child of nationalist, religious yet progressive. The lover of history who early on became suspicious of the British. The ambitious young officer with revolutionary views about mobile warfare in a country first mired in the trenches of the Western Front then blinded by the folly of the Maginot Line. We watch his impressive fight against the Germans in 1940, when his fellow commanders were shaming themselves. How he refused to accept the vile compromises of the Vichy regime.
