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 armoured 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-Val ry-en-Caux was crowned by the capture
of Cherbourg. Following the armistice, Rommel was involved in
re-enacting 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.
