Yep. Any student of WWII would probably view Rommel as a great general. Not all Germans were war criminals.

There was one general in the closing days of the war who defied Hitler's orders to join in the defense of Berlin and, instead, opted to protect civilians fleeing the Russians advancing from the northeast of the metropolis.

I don't remember the guy's name but he was a bonafide hero with a strategic grasp of what was important.
