"I need the kind of generals Hitler had"

First of all that ought to have every responsible media organization denouncing this megalomaniac as unfit for any elected office.

But they won't. Once again the sane-washing will declare this is just trump being trump, lol. Worse, they will and are framing it as 'Harris attacking Trump', rather than, as they did with Biden, Trump being unfit to serve.

But I'm still a bit confused. Does the shithead even know that Hitler's generals got their asses roundly kicked in Russia, destroying Hitlers war machine, and paving the way for the invasion of Italy and France and the end of Hitler and his generals?

Loyalty as the preferred quality in military personnel is fully misguided. The Fuehrerprinzip made it difficult to change tactics, from the staff room to the battlefield. Not being able to adapt meant that German soldiers could not respond to American soldiers, who were encouraged to think in the field, working with their NCOs and not dedicating themselves to be loyal to the leader.
