14 July 2010

Just seriously bashing through the reading at the moment. Worked all today on it and planning to start my essay today, leaving the first paragraph for the moment until I have a chat with mr Stewart regarding exactly what I should be putting in there.

In answering mr stewarts comment on my last post- Hitlers changing role in C in C is becoming more evident, with him gradually taking full control over everything (economically and regarding the army). And especially looking at the Battle of Stalingrad, which was the first major defeat for the Nazi army in 1943.
It is also becoming evident from reading that as the second world war progesses you can see that his mental stability is also changing as Hitler suspects everyone to be against his ideas and will not listen to them, even if it is the best thing for the Nazi army at that stage.

Next step, is to begin writing. Sat down to start writing this morning, but felt I needed to do more reading so went through it all. So will do that now, found a great book on various historians views of Hitler and his leadership which will obviously help greatly with the historiography side of things :)
