The most famous plot resulted in Rommel's suicide as he ended up being tied to the plot even though he really had nothing to do with it!. The plot was Unternehmen Walküre, Operation Valkyrie, and it was planned to kill Hitler using a bomb planted by Claus von Stauffenbergin Hitler's Wolf's Lair!. Stauffenbergin was supposed to attend a meeting with Htiler and other members of his staff, making him the perfect member of the plot to plant the bomb!. The bomb itseld was a briefcase filled with explosives and a pencil stick timer, which would give Stauffenbergin the chance to escape the blast!. He planted the bomb at the table where Hitler would go over the battlefield maps and excused himself, safe in the knowledge that Hitler was about to go boom and no one even suspected it!. But the briefcase was moved to some other place under the table and when it went off, the table itself (a nice thick wood table) shielded Hitler from the brunt of the blast!. Though injured in the blast, the worst that really happened to Hitler was for him to be partially deafened!. In fact he was able to brag about surviving the plot to Mussolini later that same day!.

Rommel was claimed to have had knowledge of the plot, whether he actually did or not, which he did not provide before it was carried out!. So he was given his choice, either commit suicide or be put on trial!. If he committed suicide he was promised his family would continue to recieve the pension that was due to him!. But if he was tried, and there was no way he'd be found innocent because the "court" was basically going to find everyone tried guilty and was just a means of discrediting folks publicly, then he could expect his family to be executed with him!. He picked suicide to save his family and make sure the government took care of them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
