Was Hitler just a figurehead with the real power and decision making resting with Goebbels? Basically was Hitler just a mouthpiece and Goebbels his brain?

What makes you think that?
Nah.
Göring was the mastermind behind it all
>>1095778
No, there were no brains among the Nazis.

Nah Hitler was definitely a central part of Nazi thinking. He wrote Mein Kampf himself and was the main organizing figure for the Nazi party.

No, Adolf exercised extreme amounts of power over many areas. He was a constant thorn in the General Staffs side because of his frequent attempts to micromanage battles.

Nazi government ran largely on the basis of competing layers of Führer princip. This was: a Hitler-principle, with Hitler as the chief Führer; an anticipate Hitler-principle, with justification being what you believed Hitler to want; and a Gauleiter-principle with many little Hitlers controlling their own fiefdoms in a replication of the greater phenomena.
This system interfaced with traditional power-structures (Krupps, the Military-Aristocratic-Junker complex) through bureaucratic and market means.
In all things Hitler's directions were sacrosanct. They were also vague, vast, off-topic, stupid, unimplementable, and rare.
Also read about functionalism you stupid fuck.
Takes great delusion to believe that.

Read Goebbel's Diaries. He had no major decision making authority. He was just the paper hanger...

He was a very sad man. He reminded me of myself while reading his diaries. The delusions of grandeur mixed with bouts of melancholy

You're not even close to Goebbels.
Goebbels was a hack.
