Rommel and friends attempt to kill Hitler

What if it had succeeded? what would've happend?

Do you mean like Valkyre or something similar? The problem is coming up with enough people at important positions fully commited to the conspiracy. Most commited conspiracist were either retired generals with a personal grudge or low level officers with little or no influence. At minimum they need a field commander of any army group they can rely on and few of his subordinates in the know and agreed on the course of action.

They absolutely need to capture all die hards and allow absolutely no one to escape in order to kill Hitler if they do not want to risk fully fledged civil war. It would very helpful if not esential that they make Hitler death look like assasination attempt by SS or by somebody from the party. This would justify the purge of those unwanted elements. It also depends when this happens. In 1943 they might have at least some hope that peace offer may still be accepted by Allies, but any later they must accept surrender.
