Hitler didn’t understand warfare from either a strategic or a tactical sense.

You can’t make an E-4 into a Field Marshall, and give him the maps and armies to play with. Had Von Rundsted, Manstein, Heinrici, Rommel etc. been allowed to fight the war their way it would have been a different story. OMG, we got a leader who would shy away from touching a rifle, and we are discussing this? OK, remember, its the Politicians that start the wars, but they have to let the military to the job their way without interference.
Stragetic? Yeah, I would agree with that. He certainly made some mistakes based on arrogance and politics, rather than working with the people who were fighting.
Tactical? Perhaps he wasn’t up to speed on modern infantry and armor tactics. But you have to give the guy props for being in the trenches in WWI.
He was a sick bastard. But he did understand infantry tactics of “his” time.
True, but that handicap is shared with our CiC, no?
