Enric Martinez's answer to Why don't Germans honor all of their dead soldiers including...

There's nothing easy about something as complicated as the hate that drives these kinds of events and the impact they have long after they are over. It's true we don't get it, not like they do...just like they don't understand some of the scars we are trying to deal with over the Civil War and slavery. The truth, as pointed out by MSG Tom Early in his post is, "...not every German was a Nazi", or Italian was a Fascist. it is impossible to make the broad sweeping generalizations we so often do with such ease.

Not every non-African American was a slave holder, in fact not all slaves were African. But we live here and now, in this Country in this century, let's do our best to learn from past mistakes so we don't repeat them. And commit to stand together against those evils that have plagued our human past and fight for the things that our flag, Declaration of Independence and Constitution stand for.

"The German Army's largest base, the Field Marshal Rommel Barracks, Augustdorf, is named in his honour; at the dedication in 1961 his widow Lucie and son Manfred Rommel were guests of honour.[672] Another base, the Rommel Barracks, Dornstadt, is also named for him since 1965.[672] A third base named for him, the Field Marshal Rommel Barracks, Osterode, closed down in 2004. A German Navy Lütjens-class destroyer, Rommel, was named for him in 1969 and christened by his widow; the ship was decommissioned in 1998.[673]

Numerous streets in Germany, especially in his home state of Baden-Württemberg, are named in his honour, including the street where his last home was located. The Rommel Memorial was erected in Heidenheim in 1961. The Rommel Museum opened in 1989 in the Villa Lindenhof in Herrlingen;[674] there is also a Rommel Museum in Mersa Matruh in Egypt which opened in 1977, and which is located in one of Rommel's former headquarters; various other localities and establishments in Mersa Matruh, including Rommel Beach, are also named for Rommel.[675]"
