    I searched the first guy up. He was only Chief of (General) Staff for a month in acting, during which he got blown up sitting next to Hitler during the assassination plot. Before that, he was the Operations Chief, but the High Command for the Army had little control as Hitler made it bureaucratically compete with the High Command for the Wehrmacht (combined armed forces) so that he was the one in command. The German Army also didn’t include the Waffen-SS, the forces that carried out the atrocities. And you’re including a (famous but) normal pilot on that list as example of Nazi infiltration by #3?

        One can find reasons to back any cause; posting some set of reasons often comes off as a tacit endorsement, though I get now that that wasn’t your intention.

        Were there not any Allied military officers that were qualified?

        Nothing in the image says they didn’t have more Allied officers.
