Prussian paradox

Sir: Taki from time to time likes to dwell on the brilliance of the Prussian officer corps (High Life, 22 November); a fair enough point, and one which it is difficult for Germans to make. But might he touch one week on the moral cowardice of the German generals who failed to get rid of Hitler in 1938?
