...weirdest proclamations in his extended career of weird utterances, Adolf Hitler last week fired Field Marshal Walther von Brauchitsch and himself took over the job of Commander in Chief of the German Army: "When the Führer on Feb. 4, 1938 assumed commanding power over the whole armed forces, this was done out of concern for the then threatening military struggle for the freedom of the German people.
