Podcasts about Erwin Rommel

Each theater of war during World War 2 offered something unique and dangerous, Europe it was the winters, the Pacific had tropical diseases, but North Africa, it was a whole different ballgame. A desert stretching more than 2,000 miles from Morocco to Egypt with a lotta wide open spaces between. When Hitler invaded France on May 10, 1940, Mussolini waited with bated breath for the right moment to announce he was taking his talents to the Axis IYKYK. 4 weeks into the Battle of France it was obvious France wasn't going to keep Germany out of her, so Mussolini makes his declaration of war on the Allies June 10.. Now Benny had told Adolf he wasn't gonna be ready until 1942 to make with the warring but the prospect of expanding across N. Africa (they already controlled Libya, which happens to border British controlled Egypt) was too good to pass up. Mussolini believed Hitler's planned invasion of the British home islands would pull a large amount of forces away from Egypt and it would be easy pickings. He'd capture the Suez Canal and control the Mediterranean, preventing the Allies from launching any invasions from the south. Well Hitler's invasion never happened but Benito was so excited he decided to go forward with the battle for North Africa anyway. It started out pretty much how you'd expect for the Italians, they weren't ready, the British were. The Royal Navy reigned supreme in the Med which meant for the duration of the North Africa Campaign, all supplies coming from Italy were under attack. It didn't take long for Mussolini to go hat in hand to Hitler and ask for help. Hitler decided to send one of his most decorated general's at the time, Erwin Rommel to clean up the Italian mess. What followed was the first real instance of Axis vs Allies on a large scale and it served to influence how the war was going to be fought going forward.

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.

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.
