what i find funny was that the Afrika Korp was a spent force by 1943. the Americans joined in the last 3 months of the 2 year battle. but to make a "good" movie the enemyhad to be tough!! not the poorly equiped force Rommels troops actually were then. I HATE HOLLYWOOD!!!!!!
At no time in 1943 was Tobruk in the hands of the Germans. The date should be 1942 if any realism is to be given to this film.
I have only seen the beginning so maybe they are going to go through a time warp or something - in which case I apologise for speaking when I should have remained silent.
"borrows heavily from 'Tobruk'" is being polite. At least half the footage from this film is lifted directly out of 'Tobruk.' (1967) Why that film isn't available on video, and this one is still kicking around is beyond me. When I first stumbled into 'Raid on Rommel' late one night on TV, I thought it was a joke, like 'Mystery Science Theater 3000" or some other goof where they play Mr Potato Head with one film to make another...
The world could not be without a movie with Richard Burton, Karl Otto Alberty and Wolfgang Priess as AFRIKA KORPS desert warriors! which was very nice to see indeed! Richard Burton as expected is always great as a nazi as is a British Commando, as is Alberty and Priess are classic Nazis and also always great as expected, this is perhaps the most classic and most viewed Desert war movie.....although it borrows heavily from TOBRUK, it still delivered the goods. Heia Safari!

Great Classic ! always nice to see Richard Burton and Karl Otto Alberty as Nazis, not perfect but decent DAK hollywood movie,borrowing heavily from the TOBRUK movie which blended naturally of course..... Good desert scenery, shot in San Felipe Desert Baja California Mexico in 1970, where it was 120 degrees in mid summer when it was shot! definitely these guys deserve their African Medal! Heia Safari!

Yes, pretty bad. There are an awful lot of 70s haircuts in the film and the Italian girl who is in it is wearing fashions that didn't exist before the 1960s.

Richard Burton had his hair dyed so they could use long shots of George Peppard from "Tobruk".

Wolfgang Preiss and Karl-Otto Alberty presumably needed the money, as of course did Richard Burton.

A very bad, low budget movie made using archive footage from Tobruk (1967).
