Hitler was a paranoid micro-manager. He believed himself a military genius...didn't like anyone, especially his Field Generals questioning his judgement, and telling him he was wrong about anything. When one of his Generals told him something he didn't like, he'd remove them from their Command, and replace them with someone else. It became a revolving door. He got even worse after the assassination attempt at the Wolf's Lair. He was a pathetic little man, who had visions of grandeur that destroyed his country, and refused to accept that he was responsible for any of it. At the end, in his bunker, he vacillated between acting depressed, and dragging himself around in a daze, to periodically shrieking at his Generals that they could still win the war if they did what he told them. He got off way too easily. Wish the Russians had nabbed him before he took the coward's way out.
