Oh yes, there’s so much myth surrounding him, most of which is pure propaganda. But he would not have been executed. The allies had a lot of respect for him, much of the modern myth is rooted in Allied discussions about Rommel. Between that and Nazi propaganda, his image is much cleaner than reality, which unfortunately remains ambiguous. He doesn’t deserve the veneration he receives but it’d be hugely enlightening to hear his post war break down. Even liars like Speer still provided valuable insights in their post war comments.
