"It is often maintained that he is a man of strong decisions.

There are many opinions about this; but there is certainly a spasmodic appearance about his so-called rapid decisions that would appear to belie the interpretation that he is a man of action, thinking clearly and acting energetically."
Who is this person?

As I said before this statement isn't wholly accurate...Hitler did have some very bright people around him...Alber Speer for one.
Hitler was lazy....living in Flophouses in Vienna before WW1, after becoming the Supream ruler of Germany he never had any work hours and would for months hang out a Berchtisgarten doing nothing. His followers would hanfg on his every word, write it down and go away and instiitute new programs which they hoped would please the Fuerher. Sometimes 2 or 3 people would institute the same programs completely independent of each other. Hitlers view was that a leader should just take control of as much power as he could carve out for himself. So the Third Reich was basically a bunch of fiefdoms carved out by Hilters various cronies all working at odds with each other. Thus in the Battle for the North Alantic the Navy and Luftwaffe hardly cooperated at all , neither trusting the other. So alot of oportunities were lost.
