Imagine being Zeitzler in a meeting and having to be all like “damn, Hitler, your strategic decisions are so fuckin’ fine, all highly polished and totally rational. I would totally do the same, both me and the rest of the General Staff.” when all you really want to do is give the breakout order to the German Sixth Army. Like seriously imagine having to be Zeitzler and sit in that chair while angry Russians surround your Army Group and destroy it
