Features: A life-and-death battle between the "wolf" and the "mouse" in the vast desert. Rommel, even with three heads and six arms, could not match Britain's "super secret." The turning point of the North African battlefield in World War II. Rommel's "Afrika Korps" conducted the longest desert retreat. The "Devil's Garden" built by the German-Italian joint forces was one of the largest minefields in military history. Sixty years ago, the fierce battle in the barren land of North Africa was commemorated with grand ceremonies for the 10th anniversary due to its significant meaning. That victorious general with dual insignia berets, the "Desert Fox" who achieved military glory in just two years, once roared and dominated. However, in the "boiling cauldron" and the "Devil's Garden," how many souls lost their lives and could not find peace. The mountains stand like blades, the desert like smoke, only the full moon still hangs high.
