You're literally Hitler!
get on with it, you oaf.
Quoting from a famously anti-nazi general who was, like, litterally murdered to death by the Nazis - that's exactly what Hitler would have done.

The strongest evidence that points to the possibility that Rommel came to support the assassination plan was General Eberbach's confession to his son (eavesdropped by British agencies) while in British captivity, which stated that Rommel explicitly said to him that Hitler and his close associates had to be killed because this would be the only way out for Germany.<sup id="cite_ref-the_Fuehrer_had_to_go ..._284-0" class="reference">[275]</sup><sup id="cite_ref-285" class="reference">[276]</sup><sup id="cite_ref-286" class="reference">[277]</sup> This conversation occurred about a month before Rommel was coerced into committing suicide. Other notable evidence includes the papers of Rudolf Hartmann, one of the surviving leaders of the military resistance (alongside General Hans Speidel, Colonel Karl-Richard Kossmann, Colonel Eberhard Finckh and Lieutenant Colonel Caesar von Hofacker). These papers, accidentally discovered by historian Christian Schweizer in 2018 while doing research on Rudolf Hartmann, include Hartmann's eyewitness account of a conversation between Rommel and Carl-Heinrich von Stülpnagel in May 1944, as well as photos of the mid-May 1944 meeting between the inner circle of the resistance and Rommel at Kossmann's house. According to Hartmann, by the end of May, in another meeting at Hartmann's quarters in Mareil-Marly, Rommel showed "decisive determination" and clear approval of the inner circle's plan.<sup id="cite_ref-287" class="reference">[278]</sup>
