Hell, if one of then could be Erwin Rommel I would agree 100%. Very few officers as good on either side.
Ouch.
German military officer corps by and large were German patriots who had little love for Hitler. A number of them wanted from early on to remove him before he destroyed Germany. But after Hitler’s early diplomatic successes, it became politically unfeasible. Once Hitler had launched the war, as loyal Germans they were committed to doing their duty for their country’s success. Later of course, it was the generals who did attempt to take Hitler out. So I think if anything, Trump was musing about generals who were patriots, not generals who were sycophants, and certainly not saboteurs. After dealing with “White Rage Milley,” one can understand why.
