In fact, Hitler and the traditional German aristocratic officers looked down on each other, senior German officials recalled after the war. Because Hitler did not have a professional military education, but he did not want to lose people in front of the officers, Hitler often directly intervened in military command, which also made his contradictions with many officers increase.
After Germany's defeat in World War I, it was saddled with extremely heavy war reparations and various rules and regulations, and under the intervention of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany's strength shrank sharply and the economy collapsed. After Hitler came to power, he stimulated the economy through various economic means and won the love of the ordinary class in Germany at that time, in fact, the ordinary class in Germany at that time could not see Hitler's madness, and in that economic situation, they just needed a radical leader, and Hitler was elected by the German people in this way.
Therefore, many soldiers from the Prussian nobility both loved and hated Hitler, such as Manstein and other high-ranking generals. On the one hand, Hitler's radical success freed Germany from the shackles of The First World War and its military strength developed by leaps and bounds. This benefited these officers, on the other hand, Hitler's military literacy was very bad, and he always intervened directly in front-line command, completely disregarding whether logistics could keep up. In fact, after Hitler took command in the later stages of the war, the German army carried out a series of wrong commands, whether it was the Battle of the Salient or the Spring Awakening Operation, which made the precious troops make fearless sacrifices. On the other hand, Hitler was also particularly fond of meddling in the design of weapons, and he blindly recognized super heavy tanks, regardless of the total productivity and resources of Germany, the Tiger King tank, the Tiger Hunter destroyer, the rat tank and a series of super heavy combat vehicles of the E series, all designed according to Hitler's preferences. In the precarious situation at that time, the German army wasted a lot of resources on these flashy equipment, which also had a lot to do with Hitler.
His various overstepped command and strategic shortcomings also caused the Wehrmacht to be criticized, in fact, the Wehrmacht did not swear allegiance to Hitler, and they particularly looked down on the Waffen-SS who were loyal to Hitler. In fact, it was precisely because of the open struggle between the Wehrmacht and the SS, as well as the mutual suspicion between Hitler and German officers, that directly led to the defeat of the later Nazis, and in 1944, Hitler once believed that the Wehrmacht had betrayed him. Then directly dismissed a large number of aristocratic officers such as Manstein, von Kleist, etc., which shows that the contradiction between Hitler and the traditional aristocratic officers is still relatively deep.
So why did the Wehrmacht owe allegiance to Hitler? It was precisely because of Hitler's reform of the Wehrmacht before the outbreak of World War II, when the Wehrmacht was no longer loyal to the German Constitution, but only to Hitler alone, and the wehrmacht oath was changed to: I solemnly swear before God that I will obey the orders of Adolf Hitler, the Reich Führer and Wehrmacht, without reservation, and keep the oath in the name of a heroic soldier, even at the cost of sacrifice. Nor did the lower wehrmacht soldiers feel Hitler's open struggle with senior Wehrmacht officials.
Of course, Germany's aristocrats and high-ranking officials did not resist, and during World War II, the top brass of the German military and political circles secretly created an anti-Nazi organization called the "Black Band", which was determined to drive Hitler and the Nazi Party out of German politics. They planned the assassination of Hitler, but after the failure of the operation, the members of the "Black Band" organization were all captured by the Gestapo, because many of them were Rommel's subordinates, which eventually led to Hitler's execution of Rommel, which shows that the two sides are not without contradictions, they are more of a use of each other in World War II, mutual suspicion.
