Was Rommel a Nazi and was he aware of the concentration camps?
•
So recently me and my friend @Pablo22510 , actually not recently, but always were arguing about Rommel. I said that he was a Nazi and Pablo said that he wasn't a Nazi and that he was not aware of the concentration camps in Germany and other countries. Pablo this will most likely prove you wrong.

Following this thread you can reach the conclusion that Rommel was not nazi, and was unaware of the concentration camps... According to the survey.

After reading the entire thread I did find it somewhat disturbing that only one contributor mentioned the Einsatzgruppen that early in the war followed in the tracks of the tanks and laid waste to many communities who initially welcomed the German invaders as liberators...in Stalin's starving and subjugated Western provinces at least
My research suggests for example that Guderians' failure to take Moscow was due to the rebellion behind him as Hitlers' Deaths Head Troops moved in behind his advance and attacked the populace...and who then almost cut off his lines of supply in their fury He had to turn back under disputed orders...and the fate of Barbarossa was sealed. Moscow was never reached as the oncoming Winter stopped the advance.
Adolf and his Nazi Supremacists got their comeuppance for that xenophobic stupidity ...and within years his people were paid back in similarly cruel kind.
But...back to Rommel and other possible or likely non Nazi military leaders at the time...how could they have not known the death and destruction occurring behind them ? Their supply lines ran through the destruction. Their officers must have seen this and reported it. Nazi or not...they knew what was going on. They were culpable...but what could they do?
Are we all victims of circumstance in the political and military environment of our own time ?

Its possible he was aware, but pretending he didnt, as he wouldnt want to get caught up in all of that..

Moscow was never reached for a multitude of reasons. One of the main reasons is that it is in Russia/USSR.

Wasn't the capturing of Moscow also rendered impossible because Hitler ordered Guderian to Kiev, giving the Russians time to move up reinfocements?

Yes, and the city was a fortress, and it had hundreds of AA guns and searchlights, and there was hundreds of fighters giving it cover, and no one can dig a hole as fast as a Russian, and blah blah blah. The Germans would never take Moscow.
