There's no doubt that many of Hitler's decisions indeed screwed the German war effort.
But after the war the German generals blamed Hitler for everything. One of the main examples they used was 'Zitadelle'. Now we know that even if Hitler made the ultimate decision himself, he didn't decide by his own considerations and discernment and made the choice with complete oposition of his generals.
