No, Rommel was far from Hitler's loyal number 2. In fact, Rommel was part of the whole bomb plot to kill Hitler, and was forced to accept suicide as
punishment to protect his family.
Rommel was one of the far better persons in the Reich. He wasnt even that big on Nazi philosophy. he was a general first.
Hitler's most loyal bunch were Goebbels, Hess, Himmler, Goering, and Heydrich.
