Rommel was Hitler's subordinate, a very good general who was well known in Germany for his outstanding achievements. Later, Hitler let Rommel commit suicide by poisoning, and Rommel did not choose to resist, but chose to obediently accept fate and ended his life by taking poison.
Why didn't Rommel resist in the face of Hitler's orders?
Some people felt that Rommel was very loyal to Hitler, so he would obey Hitler's orders. But everyone should know that Rommel had openly disobeyed Hitler's orders during the El Alamein War, which showed that Rommel was not only not a firm believer in Hitler, but even wanted to rebel against Hitler. At the same time, this also shows that Rommel is definitely not willing to cut himself off. Rommel did not choose to resist because he did not have enough strength to resist.
It is worth mentioning that Rommel was not only wary of Hitler after the anti-Hitler clique was exposed. Ever since Rommel's poor performance in the El Alamein War, Hitler had begun to alienate him and his power was gradually withdrawn.
He still had some prestige in the army, but he still had no chance of winning against Hitler. If the high-level collectively rebelled against the water, there was a chance to kill Hitler, and Rommel's strength alone could not shake Hitler's position. In addition, Rommel did not resist in order to save his family. After the defeat in the El Alamein War, he was transferred back to the base camp. He told his son, Manfred, that he had fallen out of favor. Presumably Rommel had already smelled danger by this time, but he did not do anything defensive. He knew that if he chose to resist, his family would be in danger.
You know, Rommel liked his wife Lucy so much that he even said that Lucy was his life, and that betraying her would be tantamount to betraying his own life. Hitler saw this clearly, so he gave Rommel two choices, either to be investigated or to commit suicide. If the latter had been chosen, Hitler would have promised not to embarrass his family, but would have given them large sums of consolation money.
The former's censorship is far less good than everyone thinks, and whatever the outcome of the final investigation is, it is estimated that Rommel and his family will be given a big hat for crime, and then executed together.
In contrast, the latter is certainly superior to the former, at least the latter can save his family. This does not need to weigh the pros and cons, Rommel naturally chose to take poison to commit suicide. He was very clever, and he was sure that his family would not be harmed, because Hitler also needed to defend his reputation.
After removing the threat of himself, if Hitler continued to persecute his family, then other generals would certainly be alienated from him. This is the real reason why Rommel dared to commit suicide. Let's make a digression. Many people said that Rommel could not resist after smelling danger, but chose to abscond. Rommel must have considered this, but Hitler's men were always watching his every move, and if he really chose to leave, he would give Hitler a reason to kill him.
Moreover, he had nowhere to go, Germany was full of dangers, and other countries had a very bad impression of Rommel, and many people were eager to eat him alive. Although Rommel was an executioner, it is indeed lamentable that a generation of generals ended in this way.
