Rommel wasn't really into Nazism. He was a professional soldier.

From Wikipedia:

"There had always been opposition to Hitler in conservative circles and in the Army, the Schwarze Kapelle, but Hitler's dazzling successes in 1938-1941 stifled it. However, after the Russian campaign failed, and the Axis suffered more defeats, the opposition underwent a revival. Rommel was not part of this movement. He was never contacted by any of the ringleaders. He was known, however, to have become very critical of the Nazi regime and to be disillusioned with Hitler. At the same time his record in Africa made him very popular and respected with the German people. Dr. Carl Goerdeler, the civilian head of the Resistance, included Rommel on a list of figures to be brought into a post-Hitler government as a possible future President of Germany.

After the failed bomb attack of July 20 many conspirators were arrested and the dragnet expanded to anyone even suspected of participating. Rommel was identified in Goerdeler's list and other documents as a potential supporter and an acceptable military leader to be placed in a position of responsibility should their coup succeed.

Still, no evidence directly linked Rommel to the plot. Nazi party officials in France, however, reported that, while hospitalized, Rommel extensively and scornfully criticized Nazi incompetence and crimes. Bormann was certain of Rommel's involvement, but Goebbels was not. Unfortunately for Rommel, the 'Court of Military Honour' that was to decide whether or not to hand him over to Roland Freisler's People's Court included two men with whom Rommel had crossed swords before, Guderian and von Rundstedt. The Court decided that Rommel should be handed over to the People's Court, a drumhead organization which always decided in favour of the prosecution.
The true extent of Rommel's knowledge of or involvement with the plot is still unclear, but the general consensus among many historians is that he at least knew of it, even if he wasn't directly involved. After the war, however, his wife (among others) maintained that Rommel had been against the plot, at least against the assassination of Hitler, as a civil war might have exploded in Germany and Austria and Hitler would have become a martyr for a lasting cause."
