There were guys Hitler would listen to and guys he wouldn’t. It all depended on whether they had “von” before the last name. He would listen to Model, Kesselring and to some extent, Rommel. He wouldn’t listen to von Rundstedt, von Manstein, and von Kluge.
He really hated the Prussian military caste, and was happy as pie when Judge Freisler strung them up with piano wire.
Interesting!
