      @@Gever_Gracio He was given the choice, commit suicide and your family is safe and your reputation and honor are safe or basically go to a Kangaroo court, your family will be arrested too, you will be hanged for treason and your legacy is destroyed. He was only offered suicide because he was that big of a propaganda star that it would have been severely demoralising for Germany if he had been involved in the plot to kill Hitler therefore having comitted treason and betrayed Germany. I'm pretty sure now they think he knew something was going on and didn't act in either way but people close to him did. I can't remember though but it's generally agreed that he wasn't actually involved just his name was brought up somewhere and Hitler had become extremely paranoid.
      I don't know about you but I'd rather take cyanide than be hanged especially since I think for some of those involved they used the strangulation method rather than the snapping the vertebrae one.
      Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of this though this is just off the top of my head what I remember.

      @SECRETS UNCOVERED @SECRETS UNCOVERED I would maybe avoid quoting David Irving i think he fell out with historians for being a Nazi apologist, lying about sources about the Dresden bombings and also denies Hitler knowing about the Holocaust and the Holocaust. I'm not sure about the others but I was always taught that it was true they didn't really want to go to war with western Europe because they were more equal. Eastern Europe on the other hand were seen as untermensch and I was taught that they were always going to go to war with them. I wouldn't say they never wanted to go to war otherwise why would they have broken the Locarno treaty and invaded other countries. They weren't invaded. I understand that crimes were comitted on both sides but history does show that Germany was the agressor and not an innocent victim. In the case of Rommel specifically as I believe he was referred to at the start of your comment. I don't know if he would or wouldn't want war, he was a teacher I believe for some time of military tactics and had been a career soldier/officer so I can't imagine he would have been completely against it especially with the militaristic Second Reich he grew up in, the hatred for the Treaty of Versailles and the Stab In The Back Myth but I couldn't say anything for sure.
      Do you have any conflicting historiography to help evaluate the points you have here with more evidence to support them?

      I grew up in Germany in the 70s and 80s and early 90s. There's a difference even between German back then and German now. Not fundamentally so, but a lot of words have been adopted from English. I watch a lot of German news via TH-cam and I've noticed sadly, that some Germans can't express themselves like we used to back then. So there will always be differences due to time in language.

    Unfortunately general Georg-Hans Reinhardt isn't a part of the show. It is reported that he never in his life made a mistake when speaking. Often his listeners were so focused on finding a grammatical or pronunciation error that they no longer noticed the content, but they were always disappointed.
    Reinhardt's daily order to the troops was set up by six officers and then two staff officers went over it before the draft was presented to him and he still always found shorter, punchier, more accurate formulations.

    Rommel: older tenor
    Guderian: slightly higher than Rommel
    von Manstien: high-pitched tenor (his biological father was a general from a Slavic ethnic group called the Kashubians, his adopted and biological fathers come from families with very long military histories)
    Keitel: slightly high pitched baritone (especially when he yells)
    Raeder: high-pitched tenor
    von Rundstedt: tenor
    Peiper: stereotypical sexy German movie villain (his voice type fitted as he was responsible for Malmedy)
    Skorzeny: bass (just after capture), basso profondo (post-war English speaking voice as he was talking about his life and the then-violent situation in Cuba, after all he was a very heavy smoker which deepened his voice and contributed to his death by lung cancer)
    Goring: high-pitched douchebag tenor
    Jodl: in between tenor and baritone
    Hausser: in between countertenor and high-pitched tenor (but still sounds like a douche)
    Kesselring: slightly lower pitched than Jodl
    Donitz: about the same range as Kesselring
    Paulus: low-pitched tenor (after Stalingrad, he worked with the Soviets)
    Milich: moderate pitched tenor (his mom's uncle was Jewish)

    Commenting here as a German. The first voice of Rommel was at first almost impossible to understand, I assume he spoke some now lost dialect of East Germany (I mean those parts who are now Polish), and it took some time for me to get into his dialect.
    The rest sound almost all speaking like people from a lower working class background with strong Berlin dialect, trying to speak without dialect. So they don't sound like people from a high education background, think of the strong dialect of some backwater hick trying hide his rural low class background. So their voice modulation has something very forced and unnatural to me. At least that is the impression I got from listening to them. Of course one might argue, in those days people were not yet used to speak in public as much as we are today.
    I remember listening to British and American news reports from the 1940s, and it seems this "martial" or "aggressive" way to pronounce was generally more trendy during those days. It all has a sort of militaristic tone, no matter if you listened to Germans or other people. People today would feel such way of speaking as very unnatural and sort of overly dramatic/aggressive or cold. Anyway their way of speaking sounds extremely alien to me as a German of our time, but I know from records that it was a widespread way of speaking during those times in many countries.

He also seems to read parts of his speech from paper. There is nothing "East German" about his dialect (unless of course, one of those "now lost" dialects had an uncanny resemblance to Swabian). His Swabian is mild, but clearly discernible, particularly in Rommel's pronunciation of _stießen, Derna,_ and _weiteren._
