Rommel (2012)[CZ][TvRip]

Hoping to ward off an allied Atlantic coast invasion in France before the eastern front cracks, Hitler transfers the popular 'desert fox' field marshal Rommel to take command of Wehrmacht army group B under Western commander von Rundsted. Realizing the Atlantic Wall is too weak and long to boost sufficiently in probably mere months, Rommel comes up with an alternative, digging in his armored divisions, but the Fuhrer is stingy with vital resources and men, while refusing to consider any 'political alternative', even after D-day and the the Soviet break-trough render the situation desperate. In his Normandy castle HQ, Rommel enjoys aristocratic luxury, complete with host-translator countess La Rochefoucauld and a grand German home estate, but is appalled when his devoted adjutant, general Speidel, proves the blind crimes of the SS. Telling the truth diminishes Rommel's credit with Hitler, and he agrees obstinate pride destines Germany for its worst disaster, yet Speidel finds him unwilling to join an assassination plot after which he should take command and settle with the Western Allies against Stalin. So the conspirators concoct a devious plot, staging what they hope to achieve, but after an initial triumph over the SS, the news of Hitler's survival wrecks the dynamic, and Berlin chains arrests and torture-obtained 'confessions' to round up all suspects, even innocent Rommel, who was even medically disabled at the time by a shell on the Normandy front.
