Podcasts about Erwin Rommel

Erwin Rommel (1891-1944) lyftes fram i nazitysk propaganda som den främsta hjälten efter sina insatser som befälhavare över pansartrupper i Frankrike och Afrika. Rommel beundrade först Adolf Hitler, men kom senare att konspirera mot fürern. Erwin Rommel fick valet att ta sitt eget liv när han avslöjades att ha konspirerats mot Hitler. Men det var framförallt Hitlers ovilja att lyssna på sakkunskap om militära spörsmål som fick den forne gunstlingen att tappa tron på Hitler. Tredje rikets utrotning av judar eller raskriget på Östfronten är helt frånvarande hos Rommel, trots att han varken var organiserad nazist eller antisemit. Detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu är det andra av två om den tyske militären Erwin Rommel. Programledare Urban Lindstedt samtalar med Marco Smedberg som är militärhistoriker, pansarofficer och ledamot av Kungliga krigsvetenskapsakademien. Han har skrivit flera böcker som Militär ledning, Vietnamkrigen och det moderna standardverket Första världskriget. Ökenräven Erwin Rommel var en mycket skicklig militär som väckte beundran både hos sina egna män och hos fienderna. Redan under första världskriget visade han både mod, självständighet och ärelystnad. En ärelystnad som fick hans adliga kollegor att förakta uppkomlingen Rommel. Erwin Rommel figurerade i utkanten av 20-juli kuppen 1944, men tyckte det var fel att döda Hitler. Istället planerade han att släppa fram de allierade till Berlin för att de skulle hinna före Röda armén. Bild: Rommel med Hans Speidel, som var involverade I 20-juli kuppen.

Erwin Rommel (1891-1944) var Adolf Hitlers favoritgeneral tills han öppet kom att ifrågasätta Hitlers strategiska tänkande. Senare avslöjades han finnas i utkanten av ett attentatsförsöket mot Hitler i varglyan 1944. Han deltog inte aktivt i kuppförsöket, men försökte inte heller stoppa planerna. Ökenräven Erwin Rommel var en mycket skicklig militär som väckte beundran både hos sina egna män och hos fienderna. Redan under första världskriget visade han både mod, initiativförmåga och ärelystnad som gav honom den främsta utmärkelsen Pour la mérite. En ärelystnad som fick hans adliga kollegor att förakta uppkomlingen Rommel. Detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu är det första av två om den tyske militären Erwin Rommel. Programledare Urban Lindstedt samtalar med Marco Smedberg som är militärhistoriker, pansarofficer och ledamot av Kungliga krigsvetenskapsakademien. Han har skrivit flera böcker som Militär ledning, Vietnamkrigen och det moderna standardverket Första världskriget. Erwin Rommel föddes i en borglig familj och kunde bli officer i den kejserliga armén eftersom militären ville bredda underlaget till officerskåren. Under första världskriget genomförde han flera spektakulära operationer där mod och bluffar fick italienarna att ge upp en masse. Efter Tysklands nederlag i första världskriget blev Rommel kvar i armén och skrev boken Infanterie greift an år 1937, som skildrade hans upplevelser från första världskriget, och fick Hitler att upptäcka honom. Under andra världskriget fick han befäl över pansartrupper i Frankrike och Afrika och det var här hans mod, snabbhet och självständighet kom till sin rätt, men också väckte kollegors missnöje. Erwin Rommels stora genombrott var dock som befälhavare över den tyska afrikakåren. Här ignorerade han de italienska befälhavarna som formellt stod över honom och genomförde en mycket rörlig krigsföring. Lyssna också på Frankrikes fall maj-juni 1940. Rommel i ett möte med officerare i Frankrike, juni 1940.

This episode includes several extracts from recordings of speeches by Churchill, so that we can enjoy listening to his actual voice – on the other hand, I apologise for the background noise on the recordings, but they sound inauthentic if I try to remove it. We also meet a number of people who will continue to have a significant role later: a man who deserves to be better-known, the brilliant theoretician and practitioner of armoured warfare (sadly on the German side), Heinz Guderian; Erwin Rommel; Charles de Gaulle; Friedrich Pauls, attending an enemy's surrender now though better known for offering his own later; and Bertram Ramsay, another man who deserves to be far better known than he now is. All this is against the background of the devastating defeat of British and French forces in France, once Germany decided to end the phoney war (which had already started to be a lot less phoney in Norway) and, using the Blitzkrieg tactics favoured by Guderian, of rapidly-advancing armoured forces backed by air support and followed by infantry, broke though the French defences and rounded on the British Expeditionary Force and French troops in Northeastern France, pinning them against the Channel coast. Those Allied troops were caught in a vice that was closing on them. It was only the extraordinary ability of the man Churchill chose to organise their evacuation from Dukirk, Admiral Bertram Ramsay, and Churchill's own leadership, that allowed Britain to save the core of its army from destruction.

Welcome to the Pacific War Channel Podcast, with a new spin. We are focusing on a strategic but at times, overlooked theatre of operations in WWII, the North African Campaign. Vast Tank Battles, Rapid and outflanking moves, Supply constraints, High Command Changes, Blunders all dictate this large theatre of operations. It would be the first time the Western Allies pit themselves in their new ways of war, against the Axis, setting the foundation for their future assaults. This episode, the British Army's fortunes take a drastic U-Turn. One of the most charismatic , egoistical but aggressive and talented commanders, Erwin Rommel arrives in North Africa to take command. Capitalizing on a slow enemy and their longer supply lines, the British are on the run. However, I's not the only thing happening around the area, as U-turns are all over. Join us as we unravel the complexities of desert warfare, the logistical challenges faced by both sides, and the significant impact these battles had on the broader context of World War II.   Please support the channel by visiting our Patreon at www.patreon.com/thepacificwarchannel for exclusive content and more.

Erwin Rommel est l'un des officiers les plus brillants d'Hitler. Après avoir fait ses armes durant la Première Guerre mondiale, il inflige de sévères défaites aux alliés dans la Seconde, et gagne son surnom de "Renard du désert". Mais malgré tout son génie militaire, Rommel ne parvient pas à anticiper et repousser le Débarquement du 6 juin 1944. Dans ce deuxième épisode consacré aux 80 ans du Débarquement, Virginie Girod vous raconte la déroute allemande sur les plages normandes. Erwin Rommel, issu de la petite bourgeoisie allemande, se distingue comme officier dès la Première Guerre mondiale. Il y reçoit la plus haute distinction militaire allemande, l'ordre pour le mérite. Mais ses succès ne rendent pas la défaite de 1918 moins amère et Rommel est séduit par l'avènement d'Hitler et du IIIe Reich qui souhaite relever l'Allemagne. A la tête de la 7e division blindée, l'officier met la France à genoux en 1940. Incarnation de l'idéal aryen, Rommel est nommé par le Führer en personne pour mener le combat en Afrique du Nord. En moins de 2 mois, Rommel et son Afrikakorps repoussent les Britanniques sur 1400 kilomètres. Il est élevé au rang de feldmarschall, avant de finalement devoir se replier. Le tacticien reçoit alors une nouvelle affectation : inspecter les défenses du mur de l'Atlantique. Les fortifications, de la Norvège jusqu'à l'Espagne, doivent empêcher un débarquement à l'Ouest. Rommel transforme les plages françaises en pièges mortels, mais il ignore tout des plans des Alliés. Le renseignement allemand s'attend à un débarquement autour du 15 juin 1944. Le 6 juin 1944, Erwin Rommel se trouve donc… en Allemagne pour les 50 ans de sa femme ! Sa présence fait cruellement défaut aux Allemands pris par surprise. L'opération Overlord est un succès : Rommel tombe en disgrâce et va devoir payer le prix de son échec.

The winter of 1941-42 was not a happy one for the German Army. On the Eastern Front it was battered by a record cold winter and a Soviet counteroffensive. In North Africa, a British offensive pushed Erwin Rommel and his Afrika Korps all the way back to central Libya, from where he had begun.

The week of February 13th, 1944 began with the Allies raiding Hong Kong and giving supplies to French resistance fighters. The next day a British submarine sank a German u-boat in a rare Pacific theater battle involving Germans. On Tuesday the 15th, the Soviets began their first offensive in the Battle of Narva while a Japanese cruiser was torpedoed by a U.S. submarine. By the middle of the week the Battle of the Korsun–Cherkassy Pocket ended in a Soviet victory with German forces fleeing for their lives, while American forces launched Operation Hailstone, a massive attack against a Japanese naval and air base in the Caroline Islands. As that was happening the U.S. scored an important victory against Japan in The Battle of Karavia Bay. Simultaneously, eight-hundred allied planes raided Berlin. The Germans would counter two days later by shelling London in the heaviest bombing of the British capital since 1941. This helped lead to NBC's War Telescope news program on Saturday February 19th, entitled “Britain is a Fortress.” It took to the air at 1:45PM from WEAF in New York. The lieutenant Elmer Peterson interviewed was James Forrest Luma, born on August 27th, 1922 in Helena, Montana. At eighteen he was too young to enter flight training for the U.S., so he signed up for the Royal Canadian Air Force and was sent to England. A month after this broadcast, Lieutenant Luma was involved with only one other pilot in an air raid that saw three German planes shot down and seventeen others retreat in flames. Overall, he shot down five enemy planes in combat and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his efforts. Later this year, he was transferred to a U.S. Army Air Forces Squadron, serving until July of 1945. James Luma lived to be ninety-six, passing away February 4th, 2019, just shy of seventy-five years to the date of giving this interview to Elmer Peterson. The day after this broadcast, The Allies launched "Big Week", a six-day strategic bombing campaign against the Third Reich, while Erwin Rommel completed a four-day inspection tour of Germany's Atlantic Wall which stretched from Southern France all the way to Northern Norway. He reported to Hitler that the German coastal defenses were up to all requirements, but the Germans knew that the day of a full scale western European invasion by the allied powers was coming.

Alright, dear listeners, you've been requesting him for a minute, so here you go. One of the big swinging dicks of Naziland, Erwin Rommel. Regarded as one of the best military commanders in history, but was he? And frequently given a pass for being on the side of the Nazis because he himself didn't join the party. Well we're here to talk about his life and the stuff he accomplished, but also say fuck this sauerkraut eating motherfucker when it's due too. Enjoy!
