>Hitler's leadership style was to give contradictory

shitler spent most of his days staying up until 4 in the morning to watch westerns and sleeping until 2 in the afternoon well into 1943

Is that actually true? Sleeping in until 2 even during the war?

>>1914823
So did Churchill.

Hitler had very erratic sleeping schedules and preferred to work evenings and nights. He was an inefficient administrator and did not read reports sent to him. His way of gathering information was by summoning the people he wanted to talk to and ask them to explain what they wanted to do. He was an incessant talker - a typical narcissist and it is often said of him that "he never used one word when he could use ten".

After the Normandy landings, orders to counterattack the beachhead could not be issued fast enough because Hitler was a sleep.

In the end, the german war machine became as slow and inefficient as the french had been in 1940.

Germany had several different intelligence organizations, but they never convened or organized meetings with each other. Göering even had his own intelligence organization, which did not share it's information with anyone except Göering, who then took it to Hitler.

In the end, the British were far better at Intelligence and Counter Intelligence than Germany was. Nazi Germany was a relatively inefficient state.

That was Stalin you shit

Truly Hitler was the king of the neets. He became fuhrer so he could watch his mexican goat herder films all day while realizing his edgy political ideas irl. Now I get it while so many 4channers like him.

>>1914885
no, Stalin watched musicals

I don't know, actively manipulating your subordinates on such a grand conspiratorial scale seems like a stretch. Methinks its more of a misplaced attribution of ability caused by coincidence

>>1914905
It's not so much manipulation as it is an attempt to apply survival of the fittest onto a bureaucracy. Hitler would create three different bureaucrats, give them overlapping areas of authority with a vague and broad directive, and have them "compete" to produce the best results when all three guys didn't know exactly wtf they were supposed to what they were actually empowered to do.

>Hitler typically did not issue written orders, but gave them orally at meetings or in phone conversations;
Note this, regarding the Holocaust.

Best books on Hitlers personality?
For the record, I've read MK, it was boring as fuck

>>1914915
But that sounds more like ineptitude than purposefully fostering competition in the beauracracy

Westerns weren't even good at that point though, what a pleb

Hitler was fairly inept at running a country.

This is especially apparent in the police forces of the Third Reich. At times, there were 5 or more different police forces, with totally different hierarchies and personel, but vastly overlapping areas of authority. That you no longer were promoted through merit like in the Prussian bureaucracy, but through how many allies you had in the party, added onto the many inefficiencies introduced by the NSDAP.
