Nije bio osudjen na smrt u bukvalnom smislu rijeci, al' je bio prinudjen da izvrsi samoubistvo zato sto su mu nacisti prijetili da ce mu uhapsit' i egzekutirat' familiju i sve najblize saradnike. Poslije njegove smrti, njegov lik je masovno koristen za propagandu nacista.salik79 wrote:Netacno.hAZNADAR wrote:Romel je osudjen na smrt od nacistasalik79 wrote:Neki dan bi postavljen link, ocito politicki motivisan, na kojem "antifasisti" i "jugoslaveni" zele diskreditirati Batu Hadziefendica zbog toga sto je ponosan na svog djeda Muhamedagu...Onda se sjetih Manfreda Rommela, sina cuvenog Erwina Rommela, koji je takodjer bio ponosan na svog oca (a i sam od pocetka 1944 vojnik Wehrmachta), dugogodisnjeg (1974-1996) gradonacelnika grada Stuttgarta i pomislim: "E moj Bosnjo, ...".
By normal procedure, this would lead to Rommel being brought to Roland Freisler's People's Court, a kangaroo court that always decided in favour of the prosecution. However, Hitler knew that having Rommel branded and executed as a traitor would severely damage morale on the home front. He thus decided to offer Rommel the chance to take his own life.
Two generals from Hitler's headquarters, Wilhelm Burgdorf and Ernst Maisel, visited Rommel at his home on 14 October 1944. Burgdorf informed him of the charges and offered him a choice: he could choose to defend himself personally to Hitler in Berlin, or if he refused to do so (which would be taken as an admission of guilt), he would either face the People's Court—which would have been tantamount to a death sentence—or choose a quiet suicide. In the former case, his family would have suffered even before the all-but-certain conviction and execution, and his staff would have been arrested and executed as well. In the latter case, the government would claim that he died a hero and bury him with full military honours, and his family would receive full pension payments. Burgdorf had brought a cyanide capsule.
Hitler sent Field Marshal von Rundstedt, who was unaware that Rommel had died as a result of Hitler's orders, as his representative at Rommel's funeral. Rommel had specified that no political paraphernalia be displayed on his corpse, but the Nazis made sure his coffin was festooned with swastikas.
