In the first of our latest Battleground history series Patrick Bishop and Roger Morehouse tackle Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, the Nazi Germany commander revered by enemies for his "war without hate".
Together they peel back the decades of mythology, challenging the image of Rommel as the "good German".
How much did Rommel, who served as Hitler’s personal security commander , know about the regime’s atrocities? 
Was the positive postwar Western image of Rommel merely a convenient tool for rehabilitating Germany during the Cold War? 
Whilst Patrick and Roger deliver their verdict on Rommel's legacy. What do you think? Is he a hero or a villain?
