Was the general Erwin Rommel Desert fox a Nazi or was just a German general?

He was a Nazi, but far from the worst of them. Usually to get to be a general an officer has to successfully complete army schools, such as the Command and General Staff College in the US Army. The Germans actually were the first army to have this type of professional education, with their Kriegsakademie. Officers are picked to go to these schools, based on the evaluations of their commanders. You can't just apply and get in. Almost every German general of WWII had been to these schools, but not Rommel. His commanders did not think he had the potential. Rommel was an obscure colonel commanding Hitler's bodyguard when the Fuhrer promoted him to general for his loyalty. In 1944 Rommel was approached by the anti-Hitler plotters among the German officer corps, who tried to kill Hitler on July 20. Rommel rebuffed the plotters. But he did not report them, and for this, the Gestapo forced him to commit suicide, by threatening his family.
