Erwin Rommel (James Mason) stands up to Adolf Hitler (Luther Adler), telling him that the war is lost, in the 1951 Henry Hathaway movie The Desert Fox.
I think Rommel wasn't the worst and most evil general. He destroyed by his foolishness many nazis! He was outwitted by Monty's rubber tanks! Congratulations for this strategic masterpiece !!!
First of all this a movie and this a turning point scene and something of a climax. Like Cleopatra talking to Octavias, Lee talking to Grant. In Germany, it could be argued that these two were giants. You could not do better than having James Mason playing the Desert Fox and daring to challenge Hitler. And to address a certain point, This conversation did indeed happen on June 17, 1944. This is a brilliant scene.
@SchizoSystems no he wasn't, he was never a nazi he may have supported hitler and the rebuilding of germany but he certainly was not a nazi. he was a german soldier and a gentlemen. Rommel is more of an old school german soldier seeing that served in the 14-18 war in the german imperial army. And he was appalled of hearing about the genocidal attrocities against in the jews in the death camps in eastern europe. Even the british admired him for he was a humane soldier

Hitler was nothing like this in person and this "conversation" never occured. So idiotic.
