Were his ideas a classic case of mixing weapons design with severe autism?

Hitler didn't know shit about war and weapons.
he was considered to be such a poor strategist that one of the plans to kill him was dropped because whoever replaced him would do a better job of fighting the allies.

>>32678356

I googled that and all information I could find on it is just people on Quora and bloggers posting the exact quote from Wikipedia, neither the statement from them OR Wikipedia are cited.
>>32678458
I think it was Operation Foxley
>>32678481
Yeah, Operation Foxley, that is one of the few statements from it that aren't cited. There are maybe two cites in total for the entire article.
>>32678458
Read about Operation Foxley.
It never happened because no decision was made, but a lot of people involved thought Germany was weaker under Hitler leadership, they were also afraid of making him into a martyr.
>>32678502
I did, that is the first thing I found, and there is no evidence of that statement cited anywhere I can find.

I don't recall him designing any weapons.
He coined the phrase "Sturmgewehr", which is about it.

new plan to go back in time and kill hitlers art teacher and replace them with a teacher that passes him
>>32679222
He had and Idea for a flamethrowing jagdtiger, also the Goliath development was very influenced by him.He also was the one who desperately pushed the Maus development and renamed it from Mammut(mammoth) to the "mouse", because he thought it wouldn't be secret enough.
And he specifically held up the development of the Sturmgewehr, whey they renamed it MP44.
He was a very good politican, but knew shit about how to build weapons or to win wars.
