Rommel.

 

Por que Erwin Rommel não tentou matar Hitler?

No início, Erwin Rommel era devotado e admirador de Hitler. Rommel aprovou os planos de remilitarização de Hitler e disse que os planos de Hitler são o "unificador da nação". Rommel escreveu para sua esposa Lúcia: “o Führer sabe o que é certo para nós”. Rommel também assinou suas cartas “Heil Hitler!”

Por favor, encaminhe a carta anexa ao 1º tenente à sua atenção e peça-lhe que a encaminhe ao 1º Ten J., cujo endereço é atualmente desconhecido.

Heil Hitler

Os Aliados meio que gostavam de Rommel. Eles disseram coisas sobre ele ser cavalheiresco durante a batalha e disseram coisas como "Rommel nunca se juntou ao Partido Nacional-Socialista dos Trabalhadores Alemães". Caramba, os britânicos até retrataram Rommel como o "bom alemão" e "nosso amigo Rommel".

Rommel myth - Wikipedia
The Rommel myth , or the Rommel legend , is a phrase used by a number of historians for the common depictions of German field marshal Erwin Rommel as an apolitical, brilliant commander and a victim of Nazi Germany due to his presumed participation in the 20 July plot against Adolf Hitler , which led to Rommel's forced suicide in 1944. According to these historians, who take a critical view of Rommel, such depictions are not accurate. The description of Rommel as a brilliant commander started in 1941, with Rommel's participation, as a component of Nazi propaganda to praise the Wehrmacht and instill optimism in the German public. It was picked up and disseminated in the West by the British war-time press as the Allies sought to explain their continued inability to defeat the Axis forces in North Africa: The genius of Rommel was used by dissenters to protest against social inequality within the British army and by leaders like Churchill to reduce class tensions. [n 1] Following the war, the Western Allies, and particularly the British, depicted Rommel as the " good German " and "our friend Rommel", adhering closely to the tenets of the myth of the clean Wehrmacht . His reputation for conducting a clean war was used in the interests of West German rearmament during the Cold War and the reconciliation between the former enemies—the United Kingdom and the United States on one side, and the new Federal Republic of Germany on the other. The 1950 biography Rommel: The Desert Fox and the 1953 publication of The Rommel Papers added to the myth, which has proven resilient to critical examination. The mythology surrounding Rommel has been the subject of analysis in recent decades. The reevaluation has produced new interpretations of Rommel, including his relationship with Nazism , his abilities as an operational and strategic level commander, and his role in the 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler. Historians and commentators conclude that Rommel remains an ambiguous figure, not easily definable either inside or outside the myth. Terminology [ edit ] Early authors such as Desmond Young and Basil Liddell Hart mention "the Rommel legend" in their respective books. Liddell Hart described British efforts to make counterpropaganda against Rommel's military reputation (while showing respect to his conduct of war): "Thus the British commanders and headquarter staffs were compelled to make strenuous efforts to dispel 'the Rommel legend ' ". [4] [5] As early as 1950, Bernard Montgomery 's former deputy referred to the "myth" in an article titled "The Rommel Myth Debunked" where he aimed to address perceived misconceptions regarding the fighting in the North African Campaign . [6] As used by German authors, Mythos Rommel (roughly translated into English as "Rommel myth ") is a neutral description, as can be seen in works by historians such as Peter Lieb . [7] The term recognizes, per Lieb, that "Rommel is and remains a Mythos ... He could not be stuck in a single drawer

Rommel até recebeu uma cópia autografada de Mein Kampf do próprio Hitler. Talvez mais tarde Rommel tenha se desiludido com a guerra e acreditado que a Alemanha deveria negociar com os Aliados em vez de lutar até o fim. Rommel provavelmente nunca soube da conspiração para matar Hitler.
