it was not in God’s plan to have him put out of the way

Well, no kidding. Hitler was stupid and ignored his officers and relied on fortune tellers. If they had killed Hitler, imagine what fighting that war against Rommel would have looked like. As it was, the Lord saw fit to take Rommel (a very dangerous man) out of the way and leave Hitler (a imbecile addicted to drugs) in charge. Good for us.

And I look at where America was militarily at the outbreak of the war. No tanks to speak of. Few ships. No air force to speak of. A mere ~125,000 in our standing army. Still using the bolt action 1903 Springfield as our battle rifle. No way we should have won that war. But God had other plans.

In one of my WW2 books (I forget which), it talks about a German officer captured by our troops and taken to a base behind our lines. The Kraut was stunned at the rows and rows of food, supplies, medicine, ammunition, arty shells, tanks, jeeps, etc.

The Kraut officer said he knew right then that Germany had lost the war. He knew they could not defeat a nation that was that resourceful and prosperous.

America! America! God shed His grace on thee

Lord saw fit to take Rommel

Hitler forced Rommel to take a cyanide capsule because he was complicit in the July 20 plot to kill Hitler. It was reported officially that Rommel died from war injuries. Rommel was professionally/politically assassinated.
