Why Hitler didn’t trust his generals | Schleicher & the Fall of the Weimar Republic

Some believe that Hitler's distrust of his generals, and his constant attempts to control them, are evidence of his 'madness'. This is the result of purely looking at the military operations and not understanding the political side of the equation. To explain this, in this documentary we will explore the situation in the last years of the Weimar Republic, see the conflict between Hitler and Kurt von Schleicher (a conservative army officer), see how similar or dis-similar their goals were, and figure out the reason why Hitler didn't trust his generals. Thank you to my Patreon, Manel Lopez, for today's question!

ABOUT TIK 📝

History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.

This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.
