A documentary series which examines the way that a few unusual men of different nations rose to the challenge of high command. A second chance to see four programmes about World War II in Europe, to be followed by three new programmes on commanders behind the Far East war.

A commander trained to total obedience whose doubts led him to grapple within his conscience whether to overthrow the Fuehrer. His story is the personal tragedy of a man fighting for a regime which he came to realise was bringing his country to catastrophe.

Those taking part, who were close to Rommel, include: his son, Manfred Rommel his aide, Hermann Aldinger, General Hans Speidel, Cavalry Gen Siegfried Westphal, Vice-Admiral Friedrich Ruge
