A more serious Danish movie Land of Mine (also 2015) examined the plight of young German POWs forced to disarm mines after the war. This was a brilliant movie.

Question: where the hell did Rommel get all his mines in preparation for the main El Alamein battle? The Africa Korps always seemed short of fuel and ammo, but they somehow gained access to thousands of mines.

I feel I once read what would be tantamount to an answer for this. To the best of my memory, initial logistics were front loaded to be defensive heavy (mines, barries) and road materials. I'm not the Afrika Korps expert though. Perhaps the initial planning anticipation was for a defensive mission first (i.e. secure a foothold/landbridge). Maybe.
