Rommel developed a love-hate relationship with Adolf Hitler, often venerating him but glossing over his political and anti-Semitic excesses. Rommel's falling out with Hitler was usually due to distrust or Hitler letting the army down, not politics. Rommel, a Suabian outsider, connected with Hitler partly because both were fighting the "pernicious influence" of the Prussian military aristocracy. Though he disliked the SS, he endured them as part of the system. His book, Infantry Attacks (1937), made him a national personality.
