Official commands were rarely issued, so Hitler’s adherents had to rely on their own creativity. Rather than simply obeying their leader, historian Ian Kershaw explains that they ‘worked towards him’, attempting to act in the spirit of the Führer.33 This inspired a culture of one-upmanship in which increasingly radical Nazis devised increasingly radical measures to get in Hitler’s good graces.
Interesting. There's another leader known for not issuing explicit orders, he hates when people take notes.....
