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-Val¿-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).
