His uncanny ability to be able to store precise details regarding historical information, technical facts, statistics and past details, to memory served as a primary asset to plot his military strategy (Schramm, 1971). This uncanny ability combined with his excessive reading hobby compensated for his lack of education. Irving, who highlights this enhanced retentive ability that Hitler possessed and how advantageous it was by giving an example: After he would read through the Red Book of arms, that he received he each month, he would write down figures and run his eyes over the columns. It was after this that he would throw away the paper however the numbers stayed indelibly in his memory, year after year. One incident is reported where he was able to correct a printing error made in a current Red Book: where an eight was printed instead of a three. These columns of figures he was able to recall from the previous month’s edition. This technical ability further served him well as far as comprehending technical incidents and issues with armaments was concerned. His extensive knowledge and capabilities of weaponry benefited Germany. This can be seen in the way the idea of mounting long barrel guns in tanks was Hitler’s idea. ...

It was due to this knowledge that he could, in mere instances, analyze the enemy’s weapon systems, calculate the impact they would have and compare it to figures pertaining to their own war production (Ibid and Schramm, 1958). Experience was also another key contributing element that made Hitler such a brilliant leader, as he gained sufficient knowledge when he served as a common soldier in World War 1, where he received the Iron Cross First class, Germany’s highest decoration. This experience enabled him to analyze the battle from the perspective of a soldier and gain an understanding of how fighting at the front lines would feel like. Marshal and Manstein’s analysis of Hitler’s characteristic pertaining to being a good military leader, are primarily his will power, nerves of steel and impressive intelligence. However a point of disagreement between the two is that on Hitler’s ‘self proclaimed sense of identification’, or the compassion he had for the front-line soldier. He consistently related his character, thoughts and emotions to those of a mere soldier despite the fact that he had little in common with one. Furthermore his notions of human losses being merely figures that reflected the weakening of one’s fighting power seemed unlikely to serve as a serious base to disturb him as a human being (Manstein, 2004). Another strength that is worth mentioning which Hitler possessed was his ability to converse and explain concepts fully by molding them to the mentality of their audience.
