 Rommel myth

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 his forced suicide in 1944.According to these historians, who take a critical view of Rommel, such depictions are not accurate.
