June 1940. In just weeks, General Erwin Rommel’s 7th Panzer Division – dubbed the ‘Ghost Division’ — had driven headlong through Allied forces in Belgium and France to reach the English Channel. Pushing south along the Channel coast past Le Harve, Rommel’s spectacular victory at Saint-Valéry-en-Caux was crowned by the capture of Cherbourg. Following the Franco-German Armistice and a victory parade in Bordeaux, cameras rolled as Rommel re-enacted crossing the Somme for the Nazi propaganda documentary Sieg im Westen (Victory in the West).

“The book does a fantastic job of hitting the highlights of the French Campaign and the 7th Panzer Division’s role in the victory.”
“There is plenty here to inform and inspire, particularly modelers, as there are a few scenes recorded from different angles across a couple of pages. Easily recommended…”
