It is said that when Rommel returned to the headquarters of Arras, he immediately arranged with Guderian to attack Calais and Dunkirk, and just as Rommel was on the front foot of Arras, Colonel Hank, the propaganda officer of the 7th Panzer Division, and two German war correspondents crashed directly into the combat command room without being informed.

(According to Rommel's son, Hank was a stalwart of the Nazi Party and also worked in Goebbels' propaganda department.) Because of his arrogant status, the rest of my father's staff hated him. In the end, my father couldn't resist blowing him away, because Hank openly said that he had the right to pull my father out of his position.

Later, Hank, as the leader of the Nazi party in Silesia, ordered the defenders of Brislau to "fight to the last stone", but when the Soviet army entered Brislau and the city was completely destroyed, he fled on a plane, leaving the entire city to be treated "friendly" by the Soviets. Hank's whereabouts are unknown after he escaped. ）

Hank was originally arranged to be Rommel's chief of staff, but because of Hank's self-contained identity and inability to unite his colleagues, he was assigned a position as a propaganda officer by Rommel.

For Hank's unreasonableness and contempt, Rommel just forgot about it? How is this possible, Rommel will not be the same as in history, just drove Hank away, and Rommel wants to let such a subordinate die without a place to be buried.

Such a person is not worth Rommel's direct action at all, just send him to Luxembourg, the Wehrmacht is very hateful to the SS troops who are stationed, because these people are too real and domineering, Luxemburg is naturally no exception, isn't it now going to attack Calais? Let Luxembourg send this kid to the death squad.

When Guderian and Rommel saw Hank and his party come in, they were furious and shouted:

"Who let you in? Get out of ......"

Hank glanced contemptuously at Guderian, a lieutenant general of the Wehrmacht, and said lightly:

"We were ordered by the Minister of Propaganda Goebbels to interview the two of you, so what else do the two generals have in mind?"

Guderian is so angry! Directly reached out to put the pistol on his waist, Rommel hurriedly pressed Guderian's hand, Hank is only a mad dog at most, Guderian is a master tactician, Rommel's right-hand man in the future, Rommel will never let Guderian be planted in for Hank's mad dog.

"Brother Guderian, go and rest first! I'll take care of that here. ”

Rommel pulled Guderian and walked outside the headquarters, and the mad dog Hank scoffed at Guderian's behavior, Rommel saw it in his eyes, and did not immediately send it, but just made him determined to kill the mad dog, and he and Guderian disobeyed the order to attack Dunkirk, most of which was reported by this mad dog, and this kind of person could not be eliminated.

After Rommel sent Guderian away, he returned to the headquarters, and when he pitted people, he did not have to put his anger on his face.

"Captain Hank, weren't you here on Goebbels' orders? Ask if you have anything! ”

Hank must be the reason for such fearlessness, in fact, this interview was ordered by Hitler Goebbels on his behalf, if Rommel and Guderian said the wrong thing, hehe, it is very likely that the two of them will end up in the secret Gestapo prison.

Hank did not answer Rommel's words, he could not be afraid of Guderian, the lieutenant general, because Guderian was not his direct boss, and Rommel was his direct boss, which called the county official not as good as the current management.

A war correspondent behind Hank was actually very embarrassed, he was just a war correspondent, and he didn't expect to be invisibly involved in a power struggle, this war correspondent was pale, he looked at Rommel's serious face, cold and sharp eyes, he couldn't ask a word at all.

Rommel did not want to embarrass the little war correspondent, and said kindly:

"Your young man's surname! It's the first time I've come to the front line to interview! ”

When the reporter saw Rommel asking him, he stammered:

"Report General...... I...... My name is...... Peters...... Thank you for your kind attention. ”

"Don't be nervous...... Let's have a cup of tea! …… If you have any questions, just ask! ”

Rommel's amiable attitude eased Peters's nervousness a little, and he had a good impression of Rommel, and he had already decided in his heart that he would try to write General Rommel as well as possible when he returned.

After all, Peters studied news interviewing, he quickly calmed down, he quickly took out his notebook and asked, there were a few questions that Goebbels specially explained that he had to ask first, and Peters did not dare to disobey Goebbels's orders:

"May I ask General Rommel, this time you led the 7th Panzer Division to sweep 600 kilometers in five days, and the Anglo-French army rushed to the ground, and now the newspapers all over the world call your 7th Panzer Division the Devil's Division.

But, General Rommel, why did you stop when you were about to storm Dunkirk? If you had not stopped at that time, and the 70,000 or 80,000 Anglo-French troops who were surrounded at this time had been annihilated, and now the Anglo-French troops were organizing a large-scale retreat, General Rommel, do you have any remedy? ”

After Rommel listened to Peters's words, his eyes suddenly released a cold light, and he almost didn't scare Peters down, but fortunately, Rommel immediately controlled his emotions.

Rommel immediately understood that Hank was indirectly sent by Hitler, and Hitler wanted to tell Rommel through Peters' mouth and let Rommel carry the black cauldron to stop the attack.

How could the Führer be wrong! The fault is all the generals at the bottom, and the reason why Hitler chose Rommel to carry this black cauldron is unknown, maybe Hitler regarded Rommel as his confidant, and his henchmen will willingly help him carry the black cauldron, and will not shout everywhere, after all, the traditional aristocratic officer corps of the Wehrmacht does not deal with Hitler, and they will definitely not carry this black cauldron for Hitler.

Rommel figured out the key and immediately replied with a smile:

"It was up to me to stop the attack, because my troops had been attacking for five days and six nights, and they were already exhausted, and their ammunition was exhausted, not to mention that there was a canal in front of the troops outside.

So I gave the order to stop the offensive, and from the time of view, this order was undoubtedly correct, and I did not expect that the British and French forces would have such a large maritime capacity, which I did not expect, and I was willing to take all the responsibility.

As for remedy, the 7th Panzer Division and the 19th Panzer Corps were ready for an offensive and could take Dunkirk and Port Calais in three days at most, annihilating all the Anglo-French forces that had not retreated. ”

"General Rommel, how many Anglo-French troops are there in the encirclement?"

"Between 800,000 and 1 million."

"How many Anglo-French troops will be able to retreat from the sea after three days?"

"About 300,000."
