Almost all the war criminals of World War II are notorious, but why is Rommel an exception?

Because the fox died before the great cause was completed, he was still given a knife by the Führer. Aren't the enemies of the enemy friends of the Allies?

Rommel was involved in the assassination of Hitler, he was executed, and he was at war with Britain and the United States for a long time, and he was largely promoted by Britain and the United States as anti-Nazi. Actually, I think Rommel is quite average, just like Patton.

Because Rommel was not a war criminal.

In fact, not only Rommel, but also famous generals such as Guderian and Manstein were still admired by the allies as victors after World War II, and some of them immediately returned to the army again and played an important role in the confrontation of NATO's Warsaw Pact in the Cold War. The reason why Rommel received admiration is that war is war, and personnel are indispensable, but outside of war is another story.

Rommel, known as the Desert Fox, was just a tactical general who was loyal to his country and more tactically than other Axis generals.

Rommel's enemies in North Africa in World War II were mainly Montgomery, and Patton was American.

In February 1941, Hitler appointed Rommel as commander of the "German Afrika Army" and went to North Africa to rescue the defeated Italian army. Immediately after arriving at the Tripoli front in North Africa, he made a reconnaissance flight and came to the conclusion that "the best defense is an offensive." So he changed the order to "hold the line" and commanded his armored troops to brave the desert storm and march at full speed.

The British army was caught off guard and retreated. The Germans approached Alexander and Suez. Rommel became famous, earned the nickname "Desert Fox" and was promoted to marshal.

Later, the main German army was pinned down on the Soviet-German battlefield, and Hitler refused to send troops to the North African front, so Rommel had to stop the offensive and defend in Alemin.

In November 1942, Rommel, with his only 50,000 troops and 550 tanks, fought against Montgomery's 10,000 troops and 1,029 tanks in the Alemán area, but was finally outnumbered and defeated. In March 1943, Rommel was recalled to the German base camp. In July of the same year, he was transferred to the commander of Army Group "B" in northern Italy.

From December 1943 to July 1944, he led Army Group "B" to organize defenses in France and command the resistance to the Normandy landings. Subsequently, an attempted assassination of Hitler occurred in Germany, and Rommel was implicated. On October 14, 1944, due to Hitler's persecution, he committed suicide by poisoning himself in a small car, and the news announced to the public was that "Field Marshal Rommel died of a stroke on the way".

Montgomery.

Britain's 7th Panzer Division, nicknamed"Desert rats"(Rommel is a desert fox). At that time, it was part of the British 8th Army and commanded by Montgomery.

Rommel mainly lost in logistics supply, at that time the German army did not pay enough attention to the North African front, Rommel won several battles before the situation improved, but in the later period, the German war was extremely long, unable to provide a North African German army with sufficient supplies.

As for Patton, he was the general of the American armored corps on the Western Front, and he could be regarded as a handover in France after the Mandy landing.

Rommel's enemy was Montgomery, the Battle of Alemin, known as the Desert Fox. Not Barton.

It's Montgomery, and Patton is American.

Because Rommel was not like other Nazi soldiers, he treated ordinary people and enemy soldiers equally, and Rommel chose to commit suicide in order to protect his family, which is admirable.

Because his military attainments and tactical genius were outstanding, even his opponents were admired.

Because Rommel was not a member of the Nazi Party, and he did not participate in the killing of Jews, he did not commit war crimes.

I'm afraid you've forgotten about Qu Hillel.
