Secrets That Won World War II - What Really Happened to Rommel?

Movies
Based solely on archive footages and photography, each episode in this BBC documentary series focuses in on a key topic of world war two from D-Day to Stalingrad to Germany's "secret weapons". This episode tells of Erwin Rommel (1891-1944), German Fieldmarshal. He was nicknamed the 'Desert Fox' and highly decorated by Hitler. However, Rommel was not in sympathy with the Nazi party and may have been involved in the plot to kill Hitler. Did the legendary German General commit suicide or was he murdered?
