Let us look at the email inbox for General Erich Manstein on 3/2/42, when he was engaged in the Crimea:-
Sender.....................................Subject
HeiniKreditAnstalt...............Get the cheapest motor insurance quotes from us
Adolf Hitler.........Why did Lt Schmidt take one-and-a half hours for lunch yesterday?
Mrs Manstein....................He's your son, too. What are you going to do about the gum disease?
Adolf Hitler........................Why are the water cooler maintenance people late?
Bill from Sonnenliebe...........Have you made pension plans? Try us!
Colonel, 541 Infantry...........Regiment will be at start-line 12 am.
Adolf Hitler....Transfer Corporal Schultz & his 6 men from Kerch to the Tartar Ditch.
As you can see, of all these messages, only one is relevant to the matter in hand.
From Johnnyreb on the thread Modern (2006) computers and the internet in WWII on AH.com. For the record Hitler was into to giving detailed and mindless tactic instructions. This tendency can be seen as this clip of Hitler as a gamer.
