The Conspirator

S1, E1: The mystery of whether Rommel knew about the conspiracy to kill Hitler in 1944, and the circumstances surrounding his own suicide. Internationally acclaimed experts have evaluated thousands of unpublished papers from the Field Marshall's private estate, diaries kept by his comrades-in-arms and comprehensive wartime documentation, all delineating Rommel's image anew. Rommel also features a wealth of rarely seen film footage in colour and black and white, from World War I to his funeral in October 1944. This stunning series does not yet again sing the praises of an epic desert warrior. It is a precise psychograph of a man mutating in the clutches of evil.
