[B]Rommel[/B] (2012, Prime). Have long been fascinated by this guy. This movie is in German with English subtitles, but it didn't detract from the viewing experience for me. It primarily occurs in 1944. Rommel is back from Africa and put in charge of ensuring Germany is prepared for an inevitable Allied invasion between Normandy and Calais. The movie more or less adheres to the legend, with Rommel being anti-Hitler, but not to the point of supporting an assassination. He's resigned to losing the war, but wants to bring home alive as many troops as possible. There's some interesting intrigue here between members of the Nazi high command, most of whom are simply out to protect their own hides. There's enough here on Operation Valkyrie that makes me want to rewatch that movie even though I didn't think much of it the only time I saw it. As a military film, there's not much field action, it's mostly politics and family life, but Rommel is such an interesting guy that if you know anything about him, you should find this an enjoyable viewing.
