Rommels converstions with Hitler.

I was reading this book titled, Panzer!: Tank Warfare 1939-45 by Nigel Cawthorne, and it mentions conversions between Hitler and Rommel over a few different areas of the war from Tunisia and Russia. What has got me wondering is the fact the the writer quote's conversions between the two quoting

However, a few days before the fall of Tunisa, Rommel recieved a phone call ordering him to report to Hitlers HQ's. Seeing Hitlers political and military leadership up close led to his final disillunionment with teh nazi party, his son said.

When he arrived in Berlin, he was greeted by Hitler who looked pale and shaken.
"I should have listend to you before," he sai. 'But I suppose it is too late how. It will soon all be over in Tunisa'.
Pg 195.

By 1943 the allies demanded uncoditional surrender, and as British and American bombers filled the skies over Germany, Hitler whipped himself up into a pathological impotent hatred.
'If the German people are incapable of winning the war,'he told Rommel one night in July 1943,'then they can rot.'
The best were already dead, according to Hitler. If he was to be beaten, he would fight for every house. othing would be left. The German people must die heroically - it was 'a historic necessity'.
'Sometimes you feel that he is no longer quite normal,' said Rommel.

Is there any truth in this at all, that any of you know of?

 

I don't know if any one know the truth unleast you are a historian or if you are a historain for the nazis or one of you're ancestors were actually invovled with Hitler or Rommel.
this is going to get people upset when i mention were i see and heard all this information from .i recall seeing program on the history channel about rommel and hitlers private meetings and what they spoke about,but i am in you're boat. my infromation is not 5 star rating information.

 

I was merely asking due to the fact that it just dons't sound like Hitler, since when did he ever admit to making a mistake to any of his Generals, or even saying they were right. If he did, he probably would have listened to them much earlier and not ended with the same result both in Nth Africa and in Russia, or even as far back as the British ar Dunkirk.

 

I don't know, but this quote is in the film Der Untergang, and depicts Hitler saying this to SS-Brigadier General Monke.

 

This is an opinion but I cannot see Hitler saying any such thing to a General in 43'. I have read where he made such remarks while in the bunker in 45' right before the end. I would research to see if there are any other sources which reflect this. I tend to be skeptical when I run across such remarks unless there are various sources that support it.
