Why did Rommel the Desert Fox have to die? Getting involved in the assassination of the Fuehrer is just a cover-up!
Rommel was universally recognized as a German military genius in World War II, known as the Desert Fox, and guderian, Manstein and known as the three gods of war in the Third Reich. But unlike the latter two, Rommel did not die well, and he died not on the battlefield, but at the hands of the moustache he served.
On that hot summer day in 1944, the German mustache had just escaped an elaborate assassination. A young officer named Stauffenberg, almost right under the Fuehrer's eyes, assembled a time bomb with his hand, prepared to blow up the moustache, launch a coup d'état, and save Germany from doom.
Stauffenberg was unlucky, as he had already placed the briefcase containing the bomb near the mustache, but because of the obstruction, he was taken farther away by a participant, separated by a layer of heavy oak table legs. When the bomb exploded, the mustache was only slightly injured, not fundamentally. Originally, Stauffenberg thought that the meeting was held in the basement, and the explosion would be very powerful in such a confined space, but the meeting was changed to a wooden house with windows on three sides, and the explosive power was greatly reduced, and the purpose of the coup d'état was completely unfulfilled.
But the shock and irritation of the assassination on the moustache was extremely serious, he was himself very sensitive, he was constantly on the verge of hysteria, and the deteriorating war situation made him feel more and more precarious. On the Soviet-German battlefield, the German army had completely lost the initiative, the Soviet army counterattacked in a big way; the Normandy landings allowed the Allies to successfully open a second battlefield, and the German army fell into a nightmare of two-sided combat.
From the day of German reunification, it was in danger: in the west there was France, a continental power that had been deeply hurt and determined to retaliate, and Russia in the east, which was huge and terrifying, and from the Schlieffen plan in World War I to a series of blitzkriegs in World War II, the German army was forcefully implementing a blitzkrieg to crush France on the western front, and then the plan to unify The European continent in the east. Now that the German army is once again in the quagmire of two-sided combat, the nightmare has reappeared, and the mustache understands that no matter how much it struggles, it is only a trapped beast, and destruction is a doomed end.
At this extremely sensitive moment, he decided to take revenge on the assassination, and he did not allow any different voices to exist, not to mention that these radical officers wanted his life. He will not be soft on anyone who dares to offend him! The retaliation was extremely bloody and brutal, with the secret police showing their might, many senior generals in the army being executed, Stauffenberg being shot, and a bloody storm that engulfed germany.
On this day, Marshal Rommel, who was deeply favored by the Fuehrer, came to the house of two guests, and after a deep conversation, Rommel came out and told his wife and son that he was going to die because he was involved in the assassination. But the Fuehrer allowed him to choose suicide to preserve the dignity and honor of a soldier, and he was given a state funeral.
So Marshal Rommel, who threatened North Africa, died at the hands of the moustache he had worked for, and he died with dignity, not only in a straight military uniform, but also received a state funeral. The propaganda department, headed by Goebbels, said his heart belonged to the Fuehrer.
More than seventy years have passed, and when we look back at the situation and peel back the cocoon to remove the false and the true, it is not difficult to find that Rommel's death was not so simple. The most direct evidence is that Rommel's cause of death was deep involvement in the Stauffenberg rebellion, which in itself is an unsolved case with insufficient evidence.
Rommel had neither the motive to kill Hitler nor the assassination of the Fuehrer, the only evidence of which was a spurious promise to tell the coup d'état: You can count on me! This is very much like Li Shanchang, the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, when Hu Weiyong organized a rebellion to find him, he did not say yes or no, but just told Hu Weiyong, after I die, let you do as you please.
Enough, definitely enough! The murderous demon Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with this, and when he cut off the founding father of the country, he also connected tens of thousands of people. Although The moustache was also a murderous maniac, he was different from Emperor Zhu and did not have the habit of killing the founding heroes without moving. Therefore, his mind was not completely confused, and he did not have the reason to kill his beloved general with just one sentence.
It is also said that Rommel died of a military error, which brought strategic losses to the Third Reich and caused Hitler to kill. This should refer to the Allied landing in Normandy, Rommel was confused by the Allied false moves, misjudging that the Allies opened a second battlefield in Calais landing, so the focus of the deployment was on Calais, and the result was that the Allies landed in Normandy, which suddenly disrupted the German defense system on the Western Front. Such a mistake, the mustache can not hate!
Rommel's error in judgment is not false, but the sin does not lead to death, does the mustache not understand that there is no changsheng general? At present, where is the reason for the great enemy to kill the general first?
Some people also said that Rommel, as a senior general of the Empire, was not professional enough, the Allies were almost at the doorstep, and the Supreme Commander actually ran home to celebrate his wife's birthday! This reason is even more untenable, and the moustache may be seriously dissatisfied with it, but it will never kill him.
So, why on earth did the must-haves kill Rommel? What exactly did Rommel do to poke the mustache's lung tube? In fact, when we understand the truth behind the matter, we will suddenly realize, and even from the perspective of the beard, we must re-examine Rommel: What a good person, it is too late to kill!
The real cause of Rommel's death was that The Mustache thought he wasn't his man! The fact is that these two people are basically two types of people, it is difficult to intersect, just like two railroad tracks, although there is a time for intersection, but it is fundamentally two directions!
Rommel did not have a military background, unlike many of the senior generals in the army at that time who were from the Prussian Junker aristocratic family and had been in the woods for generations. In 1940, he was only a commander of an armored division, and it was the moustache that gave him a broad space for growth, and he was promoted to marshal in three or four years. Although Rommel is grateful to the moustache, the mustache feels that you are the one I pulled, and you must have a heart with me, otherwise I will be very hurt!
Contrary to his wishes, Rommel not only hurt the Fuehrer, but also sprinkled a handful of salt on the wound. As we all know, the moustache is based on the extermination of Jews as the basic national policy, and it also requires senior generals in the army to implement it. Unfortunately, Rommel was not enthusiastic about genocide and did not carry out Hitler's will. Not only that, but the eunuchs who had been placed in the army to supervise his plan to exterminate the Jews were sent to the front line to blow up the bunkers in the mines to block the eye... The mustache itched with hatred, but in view of Rommel's great military achievements and high prestige, coupled with the fact that there was no excuse for a while, he had to suppress this breath.
Later, as the war intensified, Moustache's dissatisfaction with Rommel intensified, judging that the Allies had made a mistake in landing in Europe, and running home at a critical moment to celebrate his wife's birthday, all made Moustache angry, and perhaps then made up his mind to get rid of Rommel, just waiting for a chance.
Stauffenberg's assassination became the last straw that crushed the camel, and the mustache heard that his favorite Marshal Rommel was actually involved, and his heart was suddenly killed, at this moment, he did not need to examine whether it was an unjust case, the truth was not important, what mattered was what he needed. Perhaps, even if Rommel had not been involved in the assassination, he would have been involved in something else, because the Fuehrer needed him to be involved.
The matter came to an end, the death of Rommel, said that the injustice is also unjust, said not unjust is not unjust. And the boss is not the same heart, what is not to die? Then again, Rommel's death at the hands of the moustache was his destiny, and if he lived until the end of World War II, it was estimated that he would be tried in Nuremberg, locked up for a few years and then released to live his peaceful life. Maybe they will reunite with other military gods in prison to become fellow prisoners... Who knows!
