In early 1938, an event occurred in Nazi Germany that was nothing short of a foreign policy and military revolution inside the state. This change has, in our view, been greatly underappreciated by historians. Now, we're not going to get into all the details and all the details of the entry but to sum it up here is what happened at to a series of complicated intrigues Blomberg was forced out as Warminster is absolutely no evidence contrary to the claims of some historians that this was orchestrated by the contrary Hitler liked Blomberg however due to a series of complicated intrigues Blomberg was forced out and it is not evidence to the one between traders against Blomberg was French the person who would logically be his successor in the German military the result of this whole situation is that Hitler personally took control of the military and in effect appointed himself as Warminster and then picked somebody who was basically a cipher general title to head the military under his supervision this would have terrible consequences for Germany Blomberg was respected by Hitler Hitler liked Blomberg and Blomberg was was able to talk to Hitler and give him independent advice so overnight a powerful independent voice was removed from Hitler's inner circle of foreign and defense policy advisers and even more disastrous result took place over at the Foreign Ministry where Hitler removed
