about Rommel

This 2003 documentary was very interesting to me, and I wonder how you might react to it.

It is in French however, and one has to pay to view it completely here, though it will also

be shown again on Arte TV on Saturday 7th, at 16:00 (French time) - maybe you can watch it live on the internet then, and tell me what you think. But maybe you have seen it already?
