  2.  @wayneantoniazzi2706  Knowing Hitler, he likely respected the Pour le Merite and its "Old Fritz" association but didn't think it fit German National Socialist aesthetics or ideology. Note too how he visited Paris in 1940 and laid a hand on Napoleon's Tomb. Hitler didn't hate the French and didn't want to fight them either. That was forced on him.
