Operation Flipper - The Failed Attempt to 'Get Rommel'

What this episode covers

In 1941 World War 2 isn't going well for Britain. In North Africa a new German General called Erwin Rommel is running rings around them, turning the desert into this own playground. Desperate to turn the tide they launch a commando mission that was as ambitious and daring, as it was badly implemented and dogged by bad luck. Its mission was simple, to 'Get Rommel.'#worldwar2 #history /#rommel Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We live in a world where social class is valued more than human quality. We live in a world where books and culture take second place, where money, lust and perversions are more vital than knowledge. We live in a world where we have forgotten traditions, values and God.
