Why wasn't Guderian ever made into a Field Marshal?

>>2740405

He was too competent to be overly aggrandized by a regularly furious Hitler and also too competent to be killed for regularly making Hitler so goddamn furious

His blessing and his curse, that cheeky fucker

Hmm isnt he the one to be held back for 4 days against 400 Polish soldiers in bunkers against what was it? 40k infantry + air support and tank divisions? Wasnt he so embarrassed that he lied to Hitler or something that they had trouble building bridges? Im no expert but I believe that happened.

He never questioned Hitler politically. Thats the only reason he was never shot.

He was put into the officer reserves for awhile sometime in 1942 I believe. Didn't hold a field command after that.
