Selbst der britische Gegner bewunderte den Mut und die ritterliche Kampfführung des als genial geltenden »Wüstenfuchses«.

El martes 6 de junio de 1944, las playas de Normandía, al norte de Francia, se convirtieron en un auténtico infierno de acero y fuego. Lo que para los Aliados supuso el glorioso Día D, para los soldados del III Reich se reveló, tal cual había presagiado su mariscal más joven, como «el día más largo» y toda una pesadilla.
