He-he, Good afternoon!So life is not that uncomplicated.
I try to expalin from memory.He was a star. A hero for the German people, so he was to met the Führer. Easy. Who would have not done back then?
BUT later, he completely felt in disgrace. As he did no agree with him and was not willing to be one of his puppet.
He was sent at the front and almost has been killed there.
His relationship with Adolph was as bad as one could have been back then.
In fact he is one of the very few personnality who had the guts to say " no ".If I believe his autobiography taken out of the " Stern " magazin.
And they are quite serious.
