On #ThisDayInHistory in 1942, #ErwinRommel disobeyed an order from #Hitler to hold in #Egypt -- the loony Führer said a "strong will" could prevail; that it was "victory or death". #SecondBattleOfElAlamein was a rout; Rommel tried to save what was left in a fighting retreat.

Entrevista a Pere Cardona: “A lo largo de los años he conocido decenas de veteranos y la mayoría de ellos coinciden en la importancia de rescatar estas historias para no repetirlas de nuevo” Pocos autores españoles conocen la Segunda Guerra Mundial como el barcelonés Pere Cardona. En su carrera, ha publicado varios libros sobre el lado más personal de la guerra, buscando los testimonios, ...
