Скачать или смотреть The Fate of Erwin Rommel's Family After the Fall of Nazi Germany

Every year, millions of travelers pass through an airport named Rommel—but it’s not named after the "Desert Fox." It’s named after his son, Manfred.

While the families of many high-ranking Nazi officials faced ruin after 1945, the Rommels followed a different path. It began with a cyanide capsule and a state-sponsored lie, but it ended with a teenage deserter becoming one of the most beloved democratic mayors in German history.

In this video, we explore the secret daughter hidden for nearly a century, Manfred’s unexpected friendships with the sons of Patton and Montgomery, and the controversial decision in 1977 that almost cost him his career.
