Feldmarschall Erwin Rommel Erwin Rommel, the most respected German
military commander of WWII, commanded the 7th Panzer Division during the
invasion of France. Promoted to general, he commanded the new Afrika Korps,
successfully driving the British 8th Army out of Libya, but was eventually
defeated at El Alamein in 1943.Approached in 1944 to join the Hitler
assassination plot Rommel refused. Now in command of the German Army in France,
even Rommel was unable to halt the Allied advance following the D-Day, and in
July 1944 encouraged Hitler to surrender. Hitler discovered Rommel was plotting
against him and offered the general suicide, a state funeral and protection for
his family or trial for treason. Erwin Rommel took the honourable decision.
