Well Rommel did inflict a lot of damage upon the Allies but he was also a man of honor who treated enemy prisoners well and saved the lives of many innocent people by his refusal to obey orders in which he found to be morally wrong. I also believe he dropped off supplies to an Allied hospital he happened to pass by at one time. Rommel never committed any war crimes and his Afrika Korps was the only unit in the Wehrmacht that was never charged. Rommel was very dangerous but he was also very well respected by Allied generals and presidents. Even if he was accused of anything, with his influence, he would have most likely been set free and allowed to retire in peace.
