See THE REAL ROMMEL documentary on the NORMANDY INVASION channel for more information about Rommel's military career.

This footage was done around early January but we can see a tired Rommel surrounded by equally tiered troops, all signs of a defeated army yet they fought very hard to final surrender!

[@Dark_forest835]

On the eastern front they fought stubbornly and desperately until the end. And in the western part they surrendered with fully equipped and armed combat-ready units.

@@Dark_forest835 very true 👍 👌

Thanks for sharing! Nice close ups of the interiors of those self propelled guns. And who doesn't wanna start New Year's with natzis in black face??🤣

[@normandyinvasion5099]

Thank you.

I see self propelled Pak and Wespe 10.5 but not one StUG

There is no german weaponry. It's captured and restored french tanks from the campaign in France in 1940. Nevertheless an interesting video for modelers and persons interested in military history. 👍

This was a battalion equipped with captured French tanks only. All rebuild to be Assault guns.
