On 19 December 1941 Hitler sacked General Walther von Brauchitsch as Commander-in-Chief and tried to appoint General Walther von Reichenau to the post. But the senior Army leaders rejected von Reichenau as being "too political" and Hitler appointed himself instead.
WI there was no protest from the other Generals and Reichenau assumes the leadership of Wermacht (or someother capable General because in OTL Reichenau died after a month)... Without Hitler's crazy orders as Commander-in-Chief does Germany have a chance in doing better in WWII?
