		Erwin Johannes Eugen Rommel (November 15, 1891—October 14, 1944) was one of the most distinguished German Field Marshals and commander of the Deutsches Afrika Korps in World War II.
		Rommel spent most of 1941 building his organization and re-forming the shattered Italian units, who had suffered a string of defeats at the hands of the British under Major General Richard O'Connor.
		Some say that Rommel's withdrawal of his army back to Tunisia against Hitler's dreams was a much greater success than his capture of Tobruk (in sharp contrast to the fate suffered by the German 6th Army at the Battle of Stalingrad under the command of Friedrich Paulus).

	The Trail of the Desert Fox -- Erwin Rommel Revised
		Rommel's acquisition of the Blue Max put him a cut above most of his fellow officers in the interwar years, particularly since Rommel, unlike a lot of his contemporaries, had never gone through the German General Staff It is very important to know this, because it has a bearing on his last days.
		Rommel, like Hitler himself, had a kind of magical quality that protected him in some way from harm, from the enemy, that in turn engendered an enormous loyalty among their followers: the men who served under Rommel swore by him.
		For Rommel thought that the problem building up around his name was not so much connected with the twentieth of July, because he knew he was in the clear-he had known nothing about it-but that he was going to be made the fallguy, the scapegoat for the collapse in France.

		The story of how Rommel's son and wife kept the various notes, letters, etc hidden away from the Nazis and the struggle with the Aallies to get them back should be a book in itself.
		Rommel's papers provide his first-hand account of the war, with a focus on defensive preparations for the defense of the coast.
		Although many of his papers were deliberately destroyed in the midst of the July 20th plot, as Rommel was involved in it, his extant papers relay enough information on how he viewed the defense of France in 1944, for which he was responsible.

		Not only was the notion that "Rommel was one of the leaders of the rebellion" not ever a "popular notion", it has never been a notion at all.
		This loyalty was not based on any love of Nazism or even of Hitler but was a reflection of Rommel's absolute respect for the meaning of the loyalty oath that he (in 1934) and all German soldiers swore and of his unconditional refusal to break such a sworn oath.
		Even though he was at odds with Hitler who was furious at Rommel's insistance that the war was becoming un-winnable for Germany he turned away the officers that had approached him about the plot.
