Rommel's Ghost Division: Victory in the West
Author(s): DAVID MITCHELHILL-GREEN
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).
