perhaps it just me and but this movie seem more like sequel or follow up than the separate project . why . when it be film ( just few year after the war ) most of the viewer probably know why rommel be so famous and why his death be so important to allied and why he be hitler favorite general and but now and 50 year later and it isn not so obvious anymore . desert fox represent the story of rommel be a decent war movie and but it just isn not in any way explain how rommel do get his nickname and what be he do that ally consider him a their best general and why their soldier be so afraid of afrika korps . that what be miss in this movie we see his fame and his character and his way to treat soldier and enemy and but f. e. we also see that hitler be complain about his achievement in africa and call him coward and etc . so and be miss the big picture here it be the story of rommel and but unfortunately the desert fox part be miss .
