EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph depicts a letter sent by the renowned German military commander, Erwin Rommel, to the Free French forces under the command of General Georges Catroux during the Battle of Bir Hakeim in North Africa on June 3, 1943. The letter, now a symbol of French resistance during World War II, invited the Free French forces to surrender in the face of the advancing Axis forces. However, the tenacious and determined French soldiers, who were heavily outnumbered, chose to hold their ground and defend their position instead. The Battle of Bir Hakeim was a pivotal moment in the African Campaign of World War II, as it marked the first major defeat for Rommel's Afrika Korps. The battle took place in the inhospitable desert terrain of Tunisia and lasted for several weeks, with both sides suffering heavy losses. The Free French forces, despite their numerical disadvantage, managed to inflict significant damage on the Axis forces, ultimately forcing them to retreat. This letter, a testament to the resilience and bravery of the Free French forces, is a significant historical artifact that continues to inspire courage and determination. The Battle of Bir Hakeim not only marked a turning point in the African Campaign but also boosted the morale of the Allied forces and demonstrated the importance of perseverance and resistance in the face of adversity.
