A fellow pede on here referred me to Badlands "Breaking History" series recently and while I dont agree with all of what they claim, they do make a fairly decent case that British Intelligence has been very disruptive force in the world for the last 100 or more years.

I don't think Hitler was controlled by any single party 1931-1945(and beyond?). I could make a compelling case for the British, the Russians, Americans and Jewish Zionists.

I think it is likely (and fairly well documented) that pre-Poland Invasion Hitler was trying to ally with Britain (King Edward, Rudolph Hess, all that). Then at some point around the Baytle of Britain that effort is stopped, and Barbarossa(Invasion of Russia) is kicked off. 1941-1942are decent, '43 starts to look bleak especially after Kursk.

Sometime mid '43 or up to the Stauffenburg bomb plot, I think Hitler is fairly effectively neutralized as an individual force, and largely coerced by Himmler, Bormann, Kammler and Goering (who's influence fades). Himmler was trying to surrender to the US through Allen Dulles. I suspect he may have even had an American guarantee of safety- which in my mind is whyy the Brits killed him. Even though technically allies, the US and British intel services were often at odds (especially with Allen Dulles). Some believe the Brits helpes Bormann escape Berlin as well (See OP JB by Christopher Creighton). Kammler likely surrendered to the US, and Goering drew the short straw at Nuremberg.

I think Hitler rebelled against his pre-war British handlers (who created both Wahabist Saudi Arabia AND Israel) at some point in 1939-1940. I think it is likely he ran his own show from then until Sometime in 1943-1944 when intriguers in his circle were able to compromise him with a mixture of drugs (administered by his doctor) and isolation (only a few sources of information). This combined with his failing health (his stress level must have been similar to Abe Lincoln's during the civil war) resulted in increasing bouts of mania and health related downtime. Then the agents in his orbit issued orders in his stead.

Do I think Hitler was a wonderful man? No. Do i think he is the soul-less monster as he has been portrayed? No, I dont think that either. I think he started out compromised, broke free, and then was compromised again.

Considering the state of the other world leaders at the time- Churchill who commited art fraud, took bribes, and cared little about the lives of his soldiers, FDR who may have been a Commie agent himself he had so many Reds around him, etc. I dont think he was any worse than them .

The victors write history. And in this particular case, re-write history 20-30 years after the fact.
