This article presents information on political history of Germany till the second world war. work. In 1934 German dictator Adolf Hitler, to placate the German General Staff, destroyed the Nazi radicals and in 1944 he must destroy the General Staff and attempt to pin on it responsibility for defeat. The army, in turn, seeks to transfer the blame to him. Before the war General Staff's ranks were thinned by executions and fatal accidents, during the war the thinning process has been continued by surrender to the enemy. German General Staff had only one aim to reestablish the Prussian soldier state at any price. The present strategy of the General Staff in 1944 is dictated by the fear of death. It is fighting on four fronts. Abroad it is fighting against Bolshevism on one side and democracy on the other and at home, against the dictatorship on one side and the people on the other.
