Description
Summary:
MacArthur: Douglas MacArthur, American superhero and military genius, commanded American forces through three major wars. His powerful image, backed by awesome achievement in battle, was front page news across the country. MacArthur recognized the link between defiance and glory and forged his life upon it. Defiance was his badge of courage, but would also lead to his downfall, as this film reveals. Patton: As commander of U.S. troops throughout the Second World War, Patton demanded tremendous loyalty, becoming feared and respected by all who served him. This explosive film reveals the secret story of the man they called "Old blood and guts." Rommel: Rommel was Germany's youngest field marshall. The world held him in awe as he led the notorious "Ghost Division", crushing first Europe and then Africa beneath his iron fist. We follow the rise of Nazi Germany's reknowned war hero through the ranks, from his ultimate triumph to his untimely downfall. Extraordinary documentation reveals Hitler's secret fear of Erwin Rommel, and the uncanny truth behind the mysterious death of the man they called "The desert fox."
