Rommel's Lieutenants by Samuel W Mitcham Jr

Rommel's first field command during the war was the 7th Panzer Division, also known as the Ghost Division, which he led in France in 1940. It destroyed the French 1st Armored Division and the 4th North African Division, punched through the Maginot Line extension near Sivry, and checked the largest Allied counteroffensive of the campaign at Arras.

In 1940 in France, German Field Marshal Erwin Rommell (ak.a. The Desert Fox) led his first field command of WWII. This text for scholars and general readers tells the stories of the men who worked under Rommell in the 7th Panzer Division during this campaign, including his staff officers and company, battalion, and regimental commanders. The volume is illustrated with B&W archival photographs. Mitcham is the author of 20 books on WWII. * Reference & Research Book News *
