I was reading “Devil's Guard,” the memiors of an SS partisan-hunter, and wondering the same thing. I imagine that Guiderin (sic?) and/or Rommel would have taken control and negotiated for an acceptable peace with the western allies, but continued the war with Russia, perhaps with western aid. As for the holocaust, I dunno. It was pretty well underway and would the gestapo have stood by and let it end if the new German leaders wished it to? I think that the average German citizen, those who knew of it, were probably ashamed and would have been relieved to see it ended.

If Rommel or any other Wehrmacht general came to power, the Holocaust would have ended immediately. the concentration camps would be disbanded. The Wehrmacht never liked that and turned a blind eye -- especially Rommel

the Gestapo were Himmler's personal toy. Rommel disliked them, as did the rest of the Wehrmacht OberKommand. They would have been terminated.
