Historically speaking this seems to be yet another highly debatable topic. On one hand Rommel was not an SS General and it is believed he was not happy with the amount of resources, men and materials being spent on the "Special Actions" against the Jewish population. However, some say he tolerated the SS killings in North Africa but was firmly against them.
He was an ardent supporter of Hitler and followed his commands to the letter. But, once he returned to Germany after the Africa campaign and manged to speak and meet with other Generals in the Wehrmacht. He learned of the extent of the Final Solution and was appalled. It was around this time he was quoted as saying.." This nonsense with the Jews must stop, It will come back on us for generations"
So it is possible that it was around this time he was questioning his oath and loyalty to Hitler. But as I first stated it is debatable and a lot is still not known. From what I have read about the man, he was brilliant and he was noble and honorable. He respected the rules of war and viewed it as a dirty business but understood the chivalry and honored the rights of prisoners, and enemy combatants. He forbid the executions of POW's. He disobeyed orders and served his men as best he could. I honestly believe he was honorable and once he realized the extent of the crimes committed by Germany, his loyalty changed.
