Rommel Page #3

but if I'm not, it doesn't get done.

- Marcks, wait a minute.

- He knows that Marck's right.

Your men have worked hard the

last two months. I'm sorry.

Paris - April 25th, 1944

German Military Administration

Something has changed.

Almost all the Parisian Jews

have been deported.

More transports leave

from Drancy and ...

Heil Hitler.

The SS hunts for Jewish children

sheltered in institutions.

This is the latest mission

of the SS here?

During air attacks against train stations,

they skip opening the car doors.

To prevent them from fleeing,

the Jews are being transported naked.

Come in.

This is Lieutenant Colonel Hofacker,

a cousin of Count Stauffenberg.

- General.

- Nice to meet you.

Berlin wants us to take action.

That's why I requested you,

because I trust you.

- It's about Rommel.

- Rommel?

Can you get him behind the overthrow?

He'll do anything to

prevent the invasion.

You need to convince him.

- We can do it with Rommel's army.

- And the people.

He is our most popular General.

It is a big leap from being

the favorite of the Fuhrer ...

to being the figurehead of a coup d'etat.

- There is no one else.

- I must speak to him.

Without the Gestapo getting wind of it.

Can you arrange that?

Rommel's Headquarters - April 28, 1944

General Guderian will be making

the decisions on the tanks.

You speak for the Fuhrer?

I will be inspecting the units

and advising the Fuhrer.

I look forward to your report.

That would be the 2nd Armored Division,

it's still here.

The enemy can quickly drop paratrooper

divisions with anti-tank guns.

So our tanks would be useless if

they are on the coast ...

and the enemy landed.

The enemy will hold them and

set up its beachhead without resistance.

How do we protect our tanks

against their naval artillery?

I'll have them dig in.

- Dig in?

- Yes.

I thought tanks are protected by armor...

firepower, and mobility?

During the invasion in France you

could not go fast enough ...

with your Ghost Division.

Did the Fuhrer agreed with my plans?

He has not decided.

The panzer divisions are...

under the supreme commander

in the west.

Then we can end this now.

In Africa, he failed.

Now he wants to play a role per se.

Talk sense to him. You can

not stop the invasion ...

with third-rate infantry

that hides behind tanks.

- I think he knows what he's doing.

- Really?

He's actually has never been more

than a good division commander.

The Fuhrer agrees with him

and thinks highly of him.

Let's take a walk.

Rundstedt is old and tired.

He gave up a long time ago.

Guderian does not accept criticism,

he is a "yes man".

Forget the consequences ...

- Take matters in hand.
