Rommel wasn’t a Nazi. In fact he turned against Hitler and was part of the General’s plot to blow Hitler up at the Wolf’s Lair on July 20th 1944.

A bit late.

I don’t know about Rommel, but many of those plotters were Nazis who just didn’t like the way Hitler was conducting the war. One example of that is Arthur Nebe. Nebe commanded the notorious Einsatzgruppe B on the Eastern front.

He was part of the July 20 plot, and was caught and executed after the plot failed.

It was never proven that Rommel was an active member of the plot. When first approached with the idea he refused, believing such a thing was beneath the honor of a German officer. His name was blurted out by one of the generals in the plot was was being tortured by the SS.
