Question about the German leadership
I was recently wondering, what did the inner circle of the Nazi party think of each other? usually you only hear of how they thought of Hitler or their opinions on the war, but I don't think I've ever really heard of how to see each other
did they all get along? was there hostilities between them as they all fought for more power to be closer to Hitler?
any information would be very much appreciated and thank you!

what was the other messages the other theater commanders sent to the combined chiefs of staff when their theaters of operations were concluded?
for example
Following Germany's unconditional surrender on May 7, 1945, General Dwight D. Eisenhower sent a concise, historic message to the Combined Chiefs of Staff: "The mission of this Allied Force was fulfilled at 0241, local time, May 7th, 1945"
is there any historical records of what
nimitz /macarthur/ stilwell/ mountbatten (pacific ocean area, southwest pacific, china india burma, southeast pacific) sent to the combined chiefs of staffs for their victory messages?
