    Howard, Rommel was given the option of either being tried in the dreaded People's Court with his family arrested or the option of commiting suicide. He chose the latter, killing himself by poison, he was then given a full state funeral with military honours and his family received a pension.

    I have read that should the July Plot have succeeded, the plotters wished to place Rommel in charge of the Army to negotiate surrender. The Army was to be used to root out the SS in Berlin and elsewhere. I'm not sure how true this is - need to do some research sometime.

    There has already been a good film about Count Stauffenberg, a 2004 TV film starring Sebastian Koch. It's very hard to obtain with English subtitles but I managed to obtain a copy from China. If anyone desperately wishes to see it, please drop me a line. Doubtless it'll be better and more accurate than the new version with that Scientologist idiot Cruise.
