First sentence: The genesis of the German defense of Normandy can be traced to the end of November 1943, when the High Command of the Armed Forces telephoned Field Marshal Erwin Rommel-the legendary Desert Fox-who was vacationing with his family at a villa in southwestern Germany and gave him a new assignment.
