I've recently been re-evaluating my understanding of Rommel as a War Hero and tactician since the last time I seriously studied it was in the early 2010s, and there seems to be an almost unbreakable fog over his true character and strategic significance?

It seems on one hand there are historians who are insistent that he was an ideological nazi to the core, citing his permissiveness of the planning and formation of anti-semetic military units in concert with his korps and issuing orders to discriminate against jewish merchants in Africa. However on the other side there are historians who assert he was staunchly ideologically apolitical, refusing orders to commit warcrimes and citing transcripts from Italian officers to the US military that Rommel was so dis-interested in politics that there would be no chance of a repeat in Germany of the coup that occurred against Mussolini.

I've seen more of the same divide regarding Rommel's strategic, operational, and logistical capabilities and where the breakdown occurred that led to the allied victory in North Africa.

Why is it that Rommel still remains so ambiguous even all these years later?
