General Rommel makes his way across northern Africa, lacking supplies. In an interesting development, he stops into a British hospital to look around, then moves on to a Polish POW camp, moving his troops, at a tremendous cost, to El Alamein. All the while, Nazis are committing reprisals against prisoners that have dared to kill German soldiers, then the news comes that German soldiers have tried to kill Adolf Hitler. When it is learned that Rommel had a hand in the plot to kill Hitler, he commits suicide.
