Although the rebellion was led by General Ludwig Beck and Brigadier Hans, they were up against the renowned German Chancellor and the current German government.

Opposing the German Chancellor seemed thankless and taxing, and even if victory was achieved, the benefits for Rommel would be minimal.

Though the move from Army Group B to the Northern Army Group was laterally equivalent in rank, the disparity in force strength and significance between the two was incomparable.

The entire Army Group B currently possessed nearly a million troops, making it the largest unit in Germany so far, aside from the Southern Army Group that was engaged against Russia Nation.
