Raid on Rommel is an American B movie in Technicolor from 1971, directed by Henry Hathaway and set in North Africa during the Second World War. It stars Richard Burton as a British commando attempting to destroy German gun emplacements in Tobruk. Much of the action footage was reused from the 1967 film Tobruk and the storyline is also largely the same.

On the way, they find an unexpected concentration of German tanks, and they surmise that there must be a fuel depot hidden nearby. Foster, in Afrika Corps uniform, and Major Tarkington Clinton Greyn, the medical officer as his prisoner, gain access to the depot and meet Field Marshal Erwin Rommel Wolfgang Preiss. During a friendly dispute over philately between Rommel and Tarkington, Foster notices a map which indicates the location of the fuel depot.They make excuses, leave, capture a tank and blow up the fuel dump. They escape towards Tobruk, where they destroy a coastal battery. The prisoners are embarked in boats launched by attacking Royal Navy warships. However, Foster and Tarkington are captured by German soldiers. The film leaves their fate unexplained. ........
