The question remains still intact what were his goals and methods after all these? However, **the answers to all these questions reveal that he was a man who was indeed responsible for the downfall of [Germany](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/39972/what-was-the-impact-of-wwi-on-germany).** During World War II, he was very much determined to command personally.

Especially early in the war, some of his decisions were good, or better than those of his generals. ![Adolf Hitler: The Ruler](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/viewsolution/e850d59f-279e-405a-83d6-a6ec0734fdec/images/a4077eba-e273-4b1f-b4ba-f7079b1ebff9.jpeg)\ When **Germany attacked over [France](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/40456/how-did-u-s-policy-toward-france-change-under-john-adams-s-administration) in World War II**, he and one more person were the only two who believed Germany can beat France. So, to make the generals work according to him, he had to push hard before the General Staff to accept it. However, **after a while, he realized he is the only one who believes that Germany’s victory was his alone**. Because, **his [army](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/338/hidden-enemy-of-indian-army) and generals are incumbent, narrow-minded, and overly cautious.** \ Many generals expressed their admiration over Hitler’s goals and political skills. And due to this he even raises to power represented broad national desire and the realization of that towards which many of the best have been striving for years. As well as, their attitude towards **Hitler’s [leadership skills](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/10398/leaders-are-born-or-made) ran positive or negative during different phases**. Regardless of his differences with his generals, **there is no second thought that Hitler lacks many qualities which he needed to control military affairs with consistent success.** ![Adolf Hitler: The Ruler](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/viewsolution/e850d59f-279e-405a-83d6-a6ec0734fdec/images/67f6ec26-5a94-4ee1-92bd-f119c6f92930.jpeg)\ In reference to this, **just take an example of the [political](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/315/political-blame-game-now-achieving-its-peak) leader, [Winston Churchill](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/36914/what-are-some-of-the-best-stories-about-winston-churchill)**.

In contrast to this, if we talk about **Hitler, he was neither experienced nor a personality to handle such roles**. He **lacks comprehensive intellectual efforts and was very ignorant over military affairs and foreign cultures**. He was **a pre-conceptual person, who used to ignore things which are not according to his beliefs and thinking**. Instead, he used to depend on his self-instinct and a monotonous belief that a will to win can overcome any obstacle. Due to his stubborn nature and dominant attitude always took him towards the practice of personal command at an overstretched level. This **dominant and stubborn attitude of Hitler is the main reason behind the happening of World War II**. **He even made plans to eliminate Jews, Slavs, Gypsies, Homosexual, and political opponents by forcefully sending them to concentration camps, where they used to tortured and lastly end up dying.** As per the reports, Hitler’s political party famously abbreviated as **‘Nazi’, is responsible for the killing of about 11 Million people** due to his rigorous regime. After all these inhuman activity and greed to win the world, Germany faced defeat very badly as well huge loss to the [economy](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/20400/is-india-ready-to-be-a-cashless-economy) and lives too.
