a favourite general of Adolf Hitler who was later involved in a plot to kill the Führer.

No, he wasn't. He had an unsubstantiated allegation made against him by a person who was being tortured and gave up lots of names to try and save himself. Rommel was confronted with the allegation and told that if he were to request a trial, then his family would receive no protection from the Reich.

IIRC his chief of staff was involved up to his neck and gave up Rommel to save himself.?
