Rommel's Ghost Division: Victory in the West: Rare Photographs from Wartime Archives

A new and richly illustrated account of Erwin Rommel and the 7th Panzer Division— known as the ‘Ghost Division’—during the 1940 Battle for France and the follow up to Rommel's Ghost Division: Dash to the Channel – 1940. June 1940. In just weeks, General Erwin Rommel’s 7th Panzer Division – dubbed the ‘Ghost Division’ — had driven headlong through Allied forces in Belgium and France to reach the English Channel. Pushing south along the Channel coast past Le Harve, Rommel’s spectacular victory at Saint-Valéry-en-Caux was crowned by the capture of Cherbourg. Following the Franco-German Armistice and a victory parade in Bordeaux, cameras rolled as Rommel re-enacted crossing the Somme for the Nazi propaganda documentary Sieg im Westen (Victory in the West).
