The Germans are considered to be a smart people, but how many blindly listened to this evil dictator even when it cost thousands and thousands of lives.
It's incredible to think about what the German people did and didn't do in Hitler's name.
Then you think of our country and how some blindly follow the leader. Makes you think.
Meh, Hitler basically fired his top general and he considered himself one. The most eye opening impact for me is that if Hitler would have listened to his top brass they probably would've won the war.

Exactly. In 1943, I believe, he made himself the German equivalent of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He was a corporal in WW1 and had no clue concerning strategic war.
