Hitler got Brauchitsch in his pocket the old fashioned way: Money.

Brauchitsch decided to divorce his wife, so he could marry another woman. But he couldn't afford the divorce and settlement. Enter Adolf. And since the soon to be second Mrs. Brauchitsch was a die hard Nazi, Hitler got a twofer.

That, plus the fact Brauchitisch had no ‘nads when it came to standing up to Hitler, would subsequently prove disastrous to the German Army.
