How truthful was Erwin Rommel's reputation and image during the second world war?

by frostifer988

I've recently started researching Rommel and his military career. There's no questioning his (mostly) successful conquests of course. Where I'm confused at is his reputation mainly during the second world war? I've read statements absolving him of any wrongdoing, giving to his undying loyalties for his homeland. On the flipside, fairly credible sources (I think?) charge Rommel with the same antisemitism that the rest of the NSDAP had. I wanted to ask y'all myself to see what you guys thought. Where could I find the most credible evidence for him? Thanks guys.

TL;DR Was Rommel cool or not?

here's a good comment about Rommel and more specifically the Afrika Corps' cleanness compared to other Germans: https://np.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/4xopgv/did_members_of_the_africa_corps_commit_any/d6hegdg/
