His clouded judgment was clouded further by the efforts of his foreign minister, the uniquely inept Joachim von Ribbentrop.” (In Tomorrow the World: Hitler, North Africa, and the Path Towards America). As you can see the author agrees that Macbeth and Hitler’s biggest flaw was their judgement. Both Macbeth and Hitler expected loyalty from everyone even when they
