He was regarded as the master of the Third Reich, However, some historians disagree with this image, emphasising a man who was remote from public affairs, Hans Mommsen, 1971: Hitler was unwilling to take decisions, frequently uncertain, exclusively concerned with upholding his prestige and personal authority, influenced in the strongest fashion by his current entourage, in some respects a weak dictator, Hitler did not actively intervene in government and his withdrawal made the machinery of government slower and more chaotic, as the important decisions were not taken, Government disintegrated into competing personal empires; Goring, Himmler and Goebbels, Hitler became dispensable in this personal system; he rarely issued written orders; fuelling the view that he was an inactive leader, There are two approaches to viewing Hitlers role in Nazi Germany; the Intentionalist and the Structuralist.
