Hitler was a moron I'm afraid and I think we can all thank whichever deities we do or don't believe in that he was or I reckon that, with the capabilities the wehrmacht demonstrated when they weren't being frustrated and hindered by their commander in chief, they would have succeeded in creating a thousand year reich with great ease. He also has more in common with the Liberal Democrats than anyone on the so-called right wing. I recall Eric Winkle Brown talking about the German point of view of the Battle of Britain, which he got first hand as an interpreter at the Nuremberg Trials, as basically a 'draw' as they didn't believe they lost but rather were forced by their boss to focus on Russia instead and leave Britain for later. A grave mistake as, if they had overrun us, the Yanks would have had no land base to work from when they entered the war and no Great Britain to ally themselves with or sell arms and equipment to. There are so many instances during WWII where the Wehrmacht had the upper hand and were frustrated by their own Fuhrer. I seem to recall it being said that Stalin thought Russia was screwed when the German Armies were on the outskirts of Moscow and was an absolute mess until his gawd awful followers (a distinctly ugly and evil bunch of louts) roused him while, at the same time old Adolf refused to allow the armies of the Reich to go all out on Moscow in fear that there might a trap awaiting them. History could have been very different of old Adolf and his muppets hadn't got in the way of his military experts.
