Any fella who couldnāt hack it in Stalingrad mustāve been unreal soft
Hitler had very little faith in the Army Officer Corps. Thought they were all a bit defeatist.

Did you ever the see the painting āstalingrad Madonnaā on display in the Kaiser Wilhelm church in Berlin. I chanced upon it one day and immediately broke down crying upon reading the story behind it. Look it up if you havenāt

Rommel had his good points it seems
Rommel was Wehrmacht rather than Nazi.
Is that in the book you are reading.
Itās such a fascinating period of history. That travellers in the third reich book was great - it sort of creeped up on people who then chose to be Nazis or as foreigners to turn a blind eye as it was expedient. Weād all, I suspect, have done the same.
Iām reading that Hitler book you recommended. Will take me an age to get through but interesting stuff. Iām only at around 1909. No spoilers please.
