However, he ignored, or went against, some of the more odious directives from High Command, and was ultimately killed for his involvement in the plots to assassinate Hitler. Accounts that I read said that he chose suicide over trial and reprisals against his family.
Might have been interesting to see what would have happened had the assassination been successful, a settlement reached with US/France/UK, and Rommel was turned against the Russians in the East in mid-1944 while German Industry was at its peak.
The western allies would have never let Germany turn its attention to Russia because Roosevelt was in Stalin’s pocket and the American government riddled with Stalin’s spies.
