Walter Warlimont (* October 3, 1894 Osnabrück, Germany - † October 9, 1976 Kreuth near the Tegernsee) was a German officer known for his role in the OKW inner circle (deputy chief).
Warlimont was rewarded in 1939 with a post as deputy to General Alfred Jodl.
In October 1948, Warlimont was tried as a war criminal before a United States military tribunal in the High Command Trial because he passed on Hitler’s directive that Allied commandos should be executed instead of being held as prisoners-of-war.

On July 20, 1944, General Warlimont was wounded during the ill-fated assassination bombing against Hitler in a war-briefing bunker (the "Schwarze Kapelle" in Rastenburg).

This interrogation was carried out by General Alexandrov of the Soviet prosecution, and if the defence desires to call General Warlimont for cross-examination here before the Tribunal, the Soviet prosecution will do its utmost to satisfy this request.
Walter Warlimont, as is known, was the Chief of the Department of National defence in the O.K.W., and later deputy chief of the Operational Staff.
I think that the testimony of a man like Friedrich Paulus, a former Field Marshal of the German Army, who, as is known, was directly concerned both in the preparations and in the execution of Case "Barbarossa," can give considerable help in investigating the preparation of this plan.

 Joel Hayward's Books and Articles: Joel Hayward Scholarship: Air Power, Stalingrad and More
General Warlimont, himself a champion of jointness, although not as Hitler came to practise it, observed after the war that Hitler's move to cement in place Blomberg's ideas on jointness provided Germany with the world's first tri-service unified command agency.
Warlimont later complained that the Operations Office was relegated to rubber-stamping the OKH's plan and watching helplessly as it assumed command responsibility for the plan's apparently imminent (but never needed) operational execution.
So while Warlimont and the other members of the OKW Operations Staff were drafting and redrafting plans for an attack on England, Jodl, their boss, was already discussing with the Führer how and when the Wehrmacht should attack Stalin's empire.

He informed General Walter Warlimont that the Fürher had just declared war on the United States and asked his staff to study where the bulk of American forces would initially be deployed.
Warlimont agreed that such an examination was necessary "for we have never even considered a war against the United States and so have no data on which to base this decision."
Because the alternative to repudiating the Fürher images of masculinity, hardness and unyielding willpower was to acknowledge that he was effeminate, soft and indecisive, an admittance that would be psychologically devastating, Hitler had compelling incentive torefute this possibility.

When Field-Marshal Walter Model arrived at LA ROCHE GUYON unannounced and unexpected with a personal letter of appointment from Hitler, the battle of NORMANDY was already lost and the Army Group HQ was infected with the anti-Hitler conspiracy.
It was Field-Marshal Walter Model who was in overall command of the 5th and 6th Panzer armies operating in the Ardennes offensive.

After all, nearly everyone thought the campaign in the east would end quickly, after which the OKH expected to pick up the reins in the west again for the final confrontation with Great Britain.
Warlimont later stated that the OKW theaters were considered "exceptions to the rule" until 1942.
In fact this is a case in which hindsight can lead to false conclusions; at this early stage of the war, the problems engendered by the split in the command system were more potential than real.

General Warlimont was Jodl's Deputy Chief of Operations and at the heart of the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (Supreme Command), from 1939 until he was injured by Stauffenburg's bomb in 1944.
Of particular interest to students of military history is Warlimont's exposition of Hitler's "generalship", which repeatedly revealed its amateurish inadequacies in rash decision-making and arrogant disregard of expert opinion.

Hitler, according to the Deputy Chief of Operations General Walter Warlimont, greeted his senior field marshal warmly, treating him with "unwonted diffidence and respect." Warlimont also noted that throughout the long sessions Von Rundstedt simply sat "motionless and monosyllabic." The precise, practical field marshal had nothing to say.
And Field Marshal Walter Model, the fifty-four-year-old new Commander in Chief, West (he took over on August 17), was clearly unable to bring order out of the chaos.
Major General Walter Poppe expected the convoy carrying his splintered 59th Infantry Division to be "blown out of the water."
