This fascinating biographical history reveals how the future German general established his reputation at the WWI Battle of Caporetto.
Erwin Rommel was to become the most famous and influential German general of World War Two. But in 1917, no one outside of a small clique in the German Army had heard of him. His ascent to prominence began with his exploits on the Italian Front of World War I.
In 1917, the Allied armies launched a series of offensives against the Austro-Hungarian forces along the Isonzo River. The final battle was a catastrophic defeat for the Allies, thanks in part to the infiltration tactics of Lieutenant Rommel. His battalion outflanked the Italian forces and executed a devastating attack from behind enemy lines.
Based on official histories and archival documents, as well as Rommel's own account, Rommel & Caporetto offers new insight into the skills and tactics he would later employ in France and in North Africa.
