So, the question arises, why did the high-ranking Rommel agree to participate in the rebellion against the German Chancellor?
Although the rebellion was led by General Ludwig Beck and Brigadier Hans, they were up against the renowned German Chancellor and the current German government.
Even Rommel himself knew that even if the rebellion could gain the support of most of the soldiers from Army Group B, the chances of victory were minimal.
In fact, initially, Rommel was unwilling to be involved in such an affair.
Opposing the German Chancellor seemed thankless and taxing, and even if victory was achieved, the benefits for Rommel would be minimal.
However, once the former Chief of Staff, General Ludwig Beck, produced an imminent order from the German Supreme Command concerning Rommel, he resolutely decided to take part in the action.
