We trace the growth of De Gaulle: the precocious child of nationalist, religious yet progressive. The lover of history who early on became suspicious of the British. The ambitious young officer with revolutionary views about mobile warfare in a country first mired in the trenches of the Western Front then blinded by the folly of the Maginot Line. We watch his impressive fight against the Germans in 1940, when his fellow commanders were shaming themselves. How he refused to accept the vile compromises of the Vichy regime.

Erwin Rommel has achieved almost legendary status as the German field marshal of World War Two. Mainly for his cunning in outwitting and outmaneuvering his Allied enemies, he is now known as the Desert Fox. This is a truly remarkable achievement, given the hatred for Nazism and all things Nazi in the wake of World War Two.

Second chances. Life after death new attitude. Interviews with those that know life better since nearly dying.
