Synopsis: This "War File" episode profiles Erwin Rommel, Adolf Hitler's personal choice to fight the British in North Africa, and his Afrika Korps. Rare wartime footage shows the Korps exerting the power that nearly led to their seizure of the Suez Canal. Maps and graphics track the balance of power in the region in 1941 and '42, including the sweep of armored Panzer divisions that were key to the Nazis' strength on every front of the war.
