During World War II, Erwin Rommel was found to have foreknowledge of the July 20 plot on Hitler's life; he was threatened with public trial, execution and reprisals on his family unless he took his own life.
Wakati wa Vita vya Kidunia vya pili, Erwin Rommel alionekana kuwa na ujuzi wa mapema wa njama ya Julai 20 juu ya maisha ya Hitler; alitishiwa kuhukumiwa hadharani, kunyongwa na kulipiza kisasi kwa familia yake isipokuwa kama angejiua.
