http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erwin_Rommel

Rommel is regarded as having been a humane and professional officer. His Afrika Korps was never accused of war crimes, and soldiers captured during the Africa campaign were reported to have been treated humanely. Order to kill Jewish soldiers, civilians, and captured commandos were ignored even when sent directly by Hitler. Later in the war, Rommel was linked to the conspiracy to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Since Rommel was a national hero, Hitler desired to eliminate him quietly. He forced Rommel to commit suicide with a cyanide pill, in return for assurances that Rommel's family would not be persecuted following his death.

He was highly respected by Churchill, General Claude Auchinleck of the British, and highly reguared by such generals as Norman Schwarzkopf.
