Join Dan and Tom as they decode the 1943 movie, FIVE GRAVES TO CAIRO. Is this World War II movie a spy movie? Listen as Dan tries to convince Tom it is, despite Tom's uncertainty. The story with this menacing title follows the exploits of Cpl. John Bramble in June 1942 after he fell out of his tank in the North African desert.  Later on, he ends up meeting Rommel, The Desert Fox, himself.  Most of the movie takes place inside the hotel “Empress of Britain”. It is a great setting. Also, something is interesting there underneath the first floor. The people behind this movie are top-notch.  Billy Wilder directed and co-wrote it with Charles Brackett, adopting Lajos Biró's play “Hotel Imperial”. It garnered three Academy Award nominations and has an excellent cast. Specifically, Anne Baxter, Franchot Tone, Akim Tamiroff, and Erich von Stroheim play the leads. This is a movie where you don't want to be scanning your phone at the same time as you watch it.  You need to pay close attention. However, by listening to this episode, you will enhance your viewing experience.  We give you some things to look out for.

For example, we include a clip from the movie about bedbugs. ·         Without a doubt, there is a tie-in to Boris Karloff. What is it? ·         The production, cinematography, costuming, and the score. ·         What Tom thought Bramble needed to have with him on the tank. ·         The use of the German language.  Authentic? ·         Opera in a World War II movie? ·         The dialogue - good, or bad? ·         Certainly, Rommel would not have said what he said at that lunch. Would he? ·         Answering Tom's question of if this is a spy movie ·         And more! What we don't answer is what the “five graves to Cairo” are. You need to watch the movie for that.

Rommel was surprised by a British offensive (Operation Crusader) and his forces were driven all the way back to where he had started from a year earlier. But in a few months, he and his army pushed the British back to where they had started.

As the golden African sun set over the vast, unyielding desert, its last rays casting long shadows over the silent, empty landscape, an unprecedented storm was gathering. The winds of war were shifting, carrying with them the acrid smell of smoke and the distant echo of artillery fire, as if foretelling the epic clash that was soon to erupt. This was no ordinary stretch of sand; this was El Alamein, a place where history was about to be written in blood and steel. The stage was set for a battle that would determine the fate of World War II. On one side of the looming conflict stood the confident and resilient British Eighth Army, led by the meticulous and strategic General Bernard Montgomery, a man known for his steely resolve and tactical acumen. On the other, the formidable German-Italian Panzer Army, commanded by the legendary Desert Fox, General Erwin Rommel, who had built a reputation as a ruthless and brilliant tactician, his name becoming synonymous with the harsh and brutal desert warfare of North Africa. They were both masters of their craft, well versed in the art of war, yet with different philosophies and strategies, but driven by the same unwavering determination to achieve victory. As they prepared to engage in a battle that would shape the course of history, the vast desert of El Alamein, so silent and placid on the eve of the conflict, seemed to hold its breath, waiting for the storm. This titanic struggle, the Second Battle of El Alamein, would become a crucial turning point in the war, a touchstone moment that would swing the momentum in favor of the Allies. The battles fought and the sacrifices made there would echo through the ages, their legacy far outlasting the fleeting, brutal moments of conflict. This is the story of El Alamein, of the men who fought, of the strategies that were deployed, and of the ripple effect that this monumental battle had on the broader theater of World War II. The desert is ready to tell its tale; are you ready to listen? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ww2-stories/support

The desert sun blazed down upon the seemingly endless stretch of sand, casting long, undulating shadows that swayed like the spectres of soldiers past. Here, amid the austere beauty of the Sahara, the stage was set for a confrontation that would prove to be a turning point in the deadliest conflict in human history. This was El Alamein, the setting of a series of battles that would determine the fate of North Africa in World War II, and significantly influence the global outcome of the war. Among the sea of khaki tents and armored vehicles, the palpable tension hung heavy in the air as soldiers from the Axis and Allied powers prepared to square off. Two skilled generals, German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, renowned as the 'Desert Fox', and British General Claude Auchinleck, stood at the helms of their respective armies. Their strategic genius, bolstered by the courage and resilience of their troops, would transform the harsh desert landscape into an unforgiving battlefield. This story transports us back to the volatile days of mid-1942, tracing the journey to El Alamein, the visceral moments of the battle, and the far-reaching implications of its outcome. It is a tale of courage and desperation, of tactical brilliance and costly mistakes, of heroic defenses and final victories.  Fasten your seatbelt, for you are about to traverse through the annals of history, revisiting the strategies, the valor, and the human spirit that marked the First Battle of El Alamein. A chapter from World War II that resonates in the corridors of military history and continues to impact our understanding of warfare today. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ww2-stories/support

Narrated by Greg Kinnear. Germany's most famous commander of World War II, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, had one fatal flaw: He always spoke his mind to Adolf Hitler. Rommel would pay for voicing the truth to his Fuhrer with his life. An earlier hero of World War I, Erwin Rommel was many things. A career soldier, a loyal German, one of the most successful generals of World War II on either side of the conflict and above all, a caring father to his son Manfred and loving husband to wife, Lucie. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel was also a realist. Highly decorated and one of Hitler's favorite commanders in the early years of World War II, the “Desert Fox” as his British adversaries labeled him, was somewhat of an enigma. Never a member of the Nazi party, Rommel detested the blending of politics and war. He would discover quickly both were always in play in Hitler's Germany. Rommel was somewhat naïve to the ways of Hitler until the latter days of the Afrika Korps defeat in North Africa in 1943. By then, Rommel started to surmise that Germany's fate was sealed. Put in charge of the famed and flawed Atlantic Wall in western Europe in late 1943, Rommel tried his best to prepare France for the coming Allied invasion. In the end, it would not be enough. D-Day's success only reinforced Rommel's belief that Adolf Hitler should sue for peace in the west. Something Hitler found treasonous. Was Rommel in on the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler in 1944? If not, why did Germany's Fuhrer force his top general to commit suicide? In a rare interview with the World War II Foundation, Erwin Rommel's late son Manfred lends his personal thoughts to his father's military story, revealing what happens when an honest career soldier confronts a Dictator named Adolf Hitler. Manfred was there and saw it all play out.

Known as the Desert Fox, Erwin Rommel was one of Germany's greatest military leaders. Having soared through the ranks after numerous victories during the First World War, he became an integral part of the Axis command, and he was one of the few who held Hitler's ear. But how did his experiences in WW1 shape the military commander he became, and what happened to him after WW2?In this episode James welcomes Dr Martin Samuels to the podcast to take a deep dive into Rommel's life and career, and examine his legacy today. Looking at his role at El Alamein, his involvement in the plot to assassinate Hitler, and his ultimate exile - what can we learn about the Desert Fox, and how did his actions help shape the course of the World Wars?Discover the past on History Hit with ad-free original podcasts and documentaries released weekly presented by world renowned historians like Dan Snow, Suzannah Lipscomb, Lucy Worsley, Matt Lewis, Tristan Hughes and more.

In the heart of North Africa, where the scorching desert sun beats relentlessly upon the sands and the jagged terrain promises nothing but hardship, lies a narrow gateway carved by the forces of time and weather: the Kasserine Pass. This seemingly insignificant geographical feature in Tunisia would, in the throes of the Second World War, become the stage for a battle that would not only shape the course of the war in this rugged landscape but also define the future of global warfare. As the winter of 1943 approached, the Allies and Axis powers were entrenched in a ruthless contest for dominance. Europe was under siege, the Pacific was alight with conflict, and North Africa had become a critical chessboard upon which grand strategies were deployed, tested, and contested. The craggy rocks of the Kasserine Pass stood as silent witnesses to the growing tension and impending clash of forces. The primary actors in this theatre of war were as diverse and contrasting as the landscape itself. Commanding the German Afrika Korps was the legendary field marshal, General Erwin Rommel, the "Desert Fox", a tactical genius renowned for his bold strategies and deep understanding of desert warfare. On the Allied side was General Lloyd Fredendall, a leader yet to be tested in the crucible of battle. In the intricate dance of war, both the Allies and Axis powers recognized the strategic importance of North Africa. A gateway to the Mediterranean, a pathway to the oil-rich Middle East, and a platform for launching attacks into the underbelly of Europe, it was a prize too valuable to lose. As the war machine ground relentlessly on, a storm was brewing, its epicenter located at the Kasserine Pass. The coming conflict would be a testing ground for men, machines, and strategies, its impact resonating beyond the confines of the desolate desert landscape, sending shockwaves through the command centers in London, Washington, and Berlin. This is the story of the Battle of Kasserine Pass, a testament to bravery, strategy, loss, and the enduring human spirit in the face of the most adverse circumstances. The sands of time have swept over the echoes of that battle, but its lessons and legacy continue to reverberate through the annals of military history. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ww2-stories/support

At the beginning of 1941, Italian forces had suffered a catastrophic defeat in North Africa at the hands of the British Army in Egypt. Il Duce's fortunes were on the wane, but the arrival of a capable German commander and a small Panzer Korps would radically change the situation in North Africa. Join Sean and James as they tell about the epic battle between Field Marshal Erwin Rommel (the “Desert Fox”) and the British forces in North Africa (the “Desert Rats”).This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4747725/advertisement

Razor 03: A Night Stalker's Wars by Alan C. Mack https://amzn.to/41uJ5sb “A truly extraordinary book by a phenomenal pilot and warrior. Alan Mack was in the thick of every sensitive, harrowing, high-stakes operation in the decade following 9/11. His account of combat from the cockpit of the world's most exceptional special ops aviation unit and of the toll it took on him and his family is forthright, riveting, raw, compelling, and inspirational. Readers will not be able to put Razor 3 down.” -General David H. Petraeus, US Army (Ret.), former Commander of the Surge in Iraq, US Central Command, and Coalition Forces in Afghanistan, and former Director of the CIAFinalist, 2022 Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Writing Awards The attacks of September 11, 2001, prompted the creation of a robust and deadly special operations force -- Task Force Dagger. Alan C. Mack, Callsign Razor 03, led a team of MH-47E helicopters and armed MH-60s. Their two-fold mission – Personnel Recovery (PR) and Unconventional Warfare (UW) involved flying in terrain and weather previously not thought possible. If that wasn't enough, they pushed the flight envelope of their specially modified Chinooks to the limit and beyond. Mack shares his behind-the-scenes perspective of the Horse Soldier's infill into Afghanistan. He discusses the hunt for Osama Bin Laden at Tora Bora and describes his shootdown during Operation Anaconda. Years later, he chased Bowe Bergdahl, rescued hostages in Iraq, and the U.S. Navy Seal ‘Lone Survivor' from the Kunar Valley. Mack's near-death experiences and frequent deployments not only affected him, but pushed his wife toward prescription opioids. Her developing addiction led to friction as he kept her secret and continued to deploy. He lived by his unit's motto, Night Stalkers Don't Quit! He wouldn't quit on his unit – he couldn't quit on his family. His story of success, tragedy, and ultimate happiness is as old as warfare itself. About the Author CW5 ALAN C. MACK retired from the Army as a Master Aviator. He served over 35 years in the Army, first as an aircraft mechanic then as a pilot. He flew CH-47s in support of Operations Desert Shield and Storm. Additionally, he spent 17 years flying MH-47 Chinooks with the 160th SOAR. As a Night Stalker Flight Lead, he participated in Operations Desert Thunder, Desert Fox, Enduring, and Iraqi Freedom. His awards include the Legion of Merit, 2 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 10 Air medals – 1 with ‘V,' and a Combat Action Badge.

David is back with the conclusion of the Devil and the history attached to him! Covering other cultures, names, looks, and breakdowns of the info, the Devil gets fleshed out and examined in great detail. We pick back up with various forms of Evil in other cultures through history. Then many of the countless names of this entity are dissected and examined, paying careful attention to the origins of each. The several iterations of looks are discussed after that. And finally the episode concludes with analysis of the research and how it has influenced cultures through the ages. What was the actual purpose of this being? How has it evolved? And what conclusions can you draw from the information? David ends with opinion based on the facts, and encourages you to take a thoughtful examination of them for yourself. It's the finish of one of the biggest episodes in Blurry Photos history, one that hopefully teaches you something new and gives you perspective you never knew you were missing!

Connect our private feed with your favourite pod-catcher at https://thevoicesofwar.supercast.com/ ---- My guest today is Amos Fox, who is an officer in the US Army with more than 24 years of service in uniform. Amos has written extensively on war and conflict over the past decade, producing over 60 publications. His work focuses on causal mechanisms to explain patterns in armed conflict. Much of Amos' current writing addresses proxy war, land warfare, the Russo-Ukrainian War, and military thinking. He joined me to discuss some of his views on the state of Western military thinking, particularly our potential over-reliance on the concept of manoeuvre warfare. Some of the topics we covered are: Amos' background in the military and path into academia Influences of Amos' first operational deployment in Iraq Understanding the reality on the ground – when intentions clash Defining manoeuvre warfare and its adoption by Western militaries Lack of pragmatism and reality in Western doctrine – what you need to know Why accurate and relevant doctrine matters for success in war Learning from Liddell Hart and his relevance today Debunking the illusion of manoeuvre in modern battles Avoiding misapplication of past terminology in today's warfare Battle of Mosul – Western usage of sieges examined The Precision Paradox – what it means for modern warfare Expanding doctrine to include Sieges, Urban Warfare, Proxy Warfare and re-imagined combined arms/joint warfare Russian invasion of Ukraine – A case in point for modern warfare The importance of questioning preconceived ideas for effective learning During our chat, I made reference to my conversation with Marc Garlasco, Chief of High Value Targeting at the Pentagon between 1997 and 2003 where he led targeting teams during operations Iraqi Freedom, Desert Fox, and Allied Force.

In this edition of Channeling History, we channel the spirits of German General Irwin Rommel and US General George Patton.  They speak of World War 2 and the roles they played.  Rommel speaks of his force death for participation in the attempted assassination of Adolf Hitler.  Please tell your friends about this interesting show.

With the First Battle of El Alamein over, the two generals settle for smaller battles while their reinforcements arrive. C in C, ME Auchinleck will take a page from Rommel's book, by forcing The Desert Fox to react to him. But then Rommel shows why he's worth studying, by turning the tables on Ruweisat Ridge.

With the First Battle of El Alamein, Rommel's building desperation clashes with Auchinleck's determination to finally make a stand. But it's the mistakes made by Afrika Korps that will determine the success or failure of The Desert Fox's latest attack. Not that Rommel is ready to concede any territory he has conquered. Meanwhile, Churchill is getting more frustrated with Auchinleck. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Another whopper of a topic that could not be more action packed. WW2. Going over the war in Europe today - as much as we can in roughly three hours. The scale of WW2.... so massive.  Over sixty million people died. OVER sixty MILLION. More people killed in less than a decade than all the people killed in two centuries of Mongol invasions. On numerous occasions, over 100,000 people would die in a single DAY. And it could have been so much worse had not the Allied powers defeated the primary Axis Powers of Germany, Japan, and Italy.

Rommel's lunge at Tobruk causes his panzers to get trapped. So the Desert Fox changes his plans and 8th Army Commander Ritchie gives Rommel days of freedom, while the Commonwealth troops set up to push on to Libya. Rommel uses this time to attack the isolated 150th Brigade Group over and over.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The day of battle is here. Both sides have made flawed plans. The question is who can adapt faster. Still, the first phase of the Battle of Gazala goes to The Desert Fox. But there is always the question of fuel. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Rommel is able to take Cyrenaica back from the British 8th Army, but between his fuel issues and C in C, ME Auchinleck's personnel changes, the two sides will stare at each other for a while. But the combat will return as North Africa's fate will determine the future of the Middle East and the Suez Canal. It's all or nothing, but having to deal with the Japanese Empire, now in the war, is stretching the Allies to the breaking point. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

My guest today is Marc Garlasco, who began his career as the Chief of High Value Targeting at the Pentagon between 1997 and 2003 where he led targeting teams during operations Iraqi Freedom, Desert Fox, and Allied Force. Marc later worked in senior roles at Human Rights Watch, the United Nations, and the Centre for Naval Analyses. Throughout his time, he has worked in Afghanistan, Gaza, Georgia, Iraq, Israel, Kosovo, Lebanon, Libya, and other conflict zones. He is a co-author of the ICRC report on Explosive Weapons in Populated Areas, and a co-host of the excellent The Civilian Protection Podcast that tells the story of those harmed by war, but whose voices are rarely heard. Marc is currently the military advisor at PAX, the largest peace organisation in the Netherlands and works to protect civilians against acts of war, to end armed violence and to build inclusive peace. Some of the topics we covered are: Marc's journey into targeting Developing a picture of Iraq 9/11 and (absence of) link to Iraq Deliberate vs dynamic targeting The failed targeting of Saddam Why targeting fails Incentives vs intelligence Impact of ‘humane' war How a Collateral Damage Estimate (CDE) is conducted Reconciling the fact that not all lives are worth the same Use of drones and accuracy of battle damage estimates Changing policy to reduce civilian harm Building bridges between NGOs and the military Impact of our wars on soldiers fighting them Marc and I discussed The Civilian Protection Podcast, of which he is a co-host. You can access all episodes of this excellent project here. Marc also mentioned the upcoming release of a US Department of Defence Memorandum, to be signed by the Secretary of Defence, that will direct the development of a comprehensive plan to mitigate and respond to civilian harm. That memo has now been released and is worth reading. You can find it here.  ----- If you like what you hear, please consider liking and reviewing the show wherever you get your pods.

Field Marshall Erwin Rommel, the famed "Desert Fox,' was a German officer and reputed to be Hitler's favorite general. At the outbreak of World War II, Rommel was given command of the troops that guarded Hitler's headquarters, which was a disappointment for a man used to fighting on the front lines with the infantry. But in early 1940, he was given a chance to put to use his gifts, when he was given command of the 7th Panzer Division. Although a novice as far as mechanized forces were concerned, he soon mastered the advantages and proved his leadership abilities again in the German offensive against the French channel coast in May. In early 1941, Rommel was placed in command of the Afrikakorps and sent to North Africa to aid Germany's ailing ally, Italy, in maintaining its position in Libya. It is here, in the deserts of North Africa, that Rommel earned his vaunted reputation, as well as his nickname, for his fox-like tactics. Winning significant victories against the British, it wasn't until a second battle to take el-Alamein in Egypt went against him that the “invincible” general was finally called home back to Europe. Hitler put Rommel back in northern France, to guard against an Allied invasion. Rommel's suggestions for the precautions necessary to repel an enemy invasion were not taken seriously, and he began to lose confidence in Hitler and Germany's ability to win the war. He assessed the support from his field commanders for removing Hitler from power and was also approached by colleagues to actually take the reins of government when Hitler was deposed. On D-Day, Rommel's prediction of disaster for Germany's position played itself out. Still, Hitler would not consider negotiations with the Allies. Rommel ended up in the hospital after his car was attacked by British bombers and he was forced off the road. Meanwhile, details of a failed assassination plot had come to Hitler's attention, including Rommel's contact with the conspirators. As Rommel was convalescing in his home at Herrlingen, two generals visited and offered him his choice: a public show trial or take his own life.
