Answer:
True.
Step-by-step explanation:
It was 99.5% totalitarian, and later 100% totalitarian. In his book Panzer Leader, Heinz Guderian writes of a top general Hitler fired when Hitler found out the general criticized “civilian control” of the military, and Hitler thought the general was talking about him. So, Hitler fired the general, kicked him out of the German Army, deprived him of the right to wear his decorations and took away his Army pension. Two brave lawyers for the OKW and OKH filed suit against the Third Reich to get the general’s pension restored, because Army regulations said pensions could only be taken away after a hearing … and this general would have prevailed at a hearing before other Wehrmacht officers. The Reichstag, Hitler’s rubber stamp, then changed the Enabling Act to let Hitler do what he did, essentially creating total despotism not beholden to any law.
