Inside Hitler's Headquarters by W. Warlimont German Military History Book WW2

Inside Hitler's Headquarters 1939-45
By Gen. Walter Warlimont
Published by Presidio Press: CA USA 1990

"General Walter Warlimont's Inside Hitler's Headquarters 1939-45 offers a first-hand, detailed account of the inner workings of the German High Command during the Second World War. As Deputy Chief of Operations under General Alfred Jodl, Warlimont had direct access to Adolf Hitler's military planning and decision-making processes. His memoir reveals how the Führer increasingly dominated strategic control, sidelining professional officers and replacing rational military planning with impulsive, ideologically driven directives. Drawing from his personal experiences, documents, and notes, Warlimont reconstructs key moments—from the early triumphs in Poland and France to the disastrous campaigns in Russia and the eventual unraveling of the Reich—while providing an insider's view of the tense atmosphere, rigid hierarchy, and fear that pervaded Hitler's headquarters.

Beyond recounting events, Warlimont's analysis exposes the dysfunction and moral decay that plagued the Nazi command structure. He illustrates how internal rivalries, propaganda-fuelled optimism, and Hitler's growing detachment from reality eroded the German war effort from within. While his tone often seeks to explain rather than justify, the book remains a revealing study in how personal ambition, obedience, and ideological blindness led Germany's military leadership into catastrophic failure. Inside Hitler's Headquarters thus serves as both a historical document and a cautionary reflection on the dangers of absolute authority in wartime decision-making."
