Also the people who made these opinions were most often those who lived and fought through the experience, their collective opinion is what counts in this world not that of half a dozen "experts" trying to gain attention for themselves by flying in the face of history. It all comes down to the fact that, "you can fool some of the people some of the time....", eventually the population wakes up to the truth. Not that it took a lot of convincing in this case.

My original reason for replying to you was to point out the myth that Hitler was wholly responsible for the military blunders that beset Germany during WW2, and that he was a bumbling idiot. He was neither.
| I'm afraid that history has found your judgement sadly lacking. This is only a myth among the small number of apologists. He may not have been a "bumbling idiot" in all things, but he was certainly a less than talented military strategist and human being in fact i think I could safely say without much fear of contradiction that, "his faults far out weighed his strengths". But then again you may have a different view of what constitutes a fool to the vast majority of the civilised world and that is your prerogative.
