    Apart from the yes men, the political appointees and the fanatics, Hitler was universally hated by his generals.

      Yeah, but there was a difference between the two sets.

      The generals under Hitler saw Hitler as a useful idiot that would fund the military after decades of neglect.

      The generals under Trump saw Trump as a strategic liability, undermining American soft power in a way that undermined their hard power.
