Model arrived well after disaster struck finding himself in the midst of a situation which if not checked would have spelled the end of the war in east.
Walther Model's field decisions must be judged out of the rationale that he was thrust into situations that were not of his own making, with very little knowledge about them and yet he was expected to find a viable solution for them.

 Ahoy - Mac's Web Log - Otto Moritz Walther Model. ( 1891- 1945 )
Model was the Field Marshal that Hitler always sent for when the going was really tough, his contemporaries in the Army are usually associated with a particular campaign, e.g., Rommel with North Africa, and Paulus with Stalingrad, but Walther Model was used in areas that were critical to the regime.
Somewhat suprisingly Model was given his job, he had commanded a division for but a brief time, now he is a C-in-C. His appointment seemed to galvanise his new command, he was everywhere, displaying energy, he has been likened to the famous US General Patton.
The Model plan was to save the remnants of Army Group Centre by giving up territory quickly, he believed the Soviets would get far ahead of their supply train and their air cover, he was also waiting for reinforcements on their way from Germany.

Model's greatest achievement was the restoration of stability along the eastern front in June 1944.
Although Model destroyed most of his personal papers just before he died, Stephen H. Newton draws on a wide variety of original German sources, including extensive Wehrmacht archival material, to tell the first and only authoritative story of the commander who was Hitler's favorite.
Model's motivation was patriotism, but more likely he `internalized almost an eighteenth-century model of the professional soldier...one who served primarily for the glory of the fight...(with) single-minded focus on his own military success.'

Little is reported about Walther during the years that Europe was ravaged by war and one assumes, in the light of how Governments work, that Walther, as a machine tool company, would be forced to join the war effort in manufacturing weapons.

 HandgunReview - Walther Reviews
Takedown is a small nightmare with the target model because the target adapter has to be removed before the slide can be taken off the frame.
In the case of the Walther, you don't lose a round in case of a misfire.
The Walther, overall however, is an excellent handgun, a classic, and as long as the ammunition used is rounded and of sufficient powder load to operate the slide positively, it will rarely jam.

 Walther Model 7 & 8
The Model 7 saw wide use by German staff officers in World War I. The Model 7 is closely related to four earlier Walthers, the Models 2, 3, 4 and 5.
The Model 8 was carried by staff officers during World War II, and as a backup gun by aviators, tank crewmen, and SS who required weapons that could be used in confined spaces.
The Models 7 and 8 appear to be exactly the same size to me. The Vestpocket Pistol Collector gives both models’ length (in all variants) at 132mm (5.196 inches).

 Walther Model 4
However, the Walther’s barrel was fixed, its extractor was on top of the gun, and the slide was cut away in the front to reveal the barrel.
The Model 1 was followed by the Models 2 and 3, which were simplified in design, used a hammer instead of a striker, and had the recoil spring around the barrel.
The Model 3 was said to be prized by secret agents during the cold war because of its concealable size and relatively powerful round.

 Walther Model 1
The Model 1 sported a blued finish and its grips were generally made of checkered hard rubber (checkered wood and even ivory grip panels were used occasionally as well).
Walther marked the fifth and final variation of the Model 1 with the symbol by which the company is now known around the world: the famous Walther banner in its curved form, as though it were blowing in a strong wind.
Walther researchers are forced to use these indirect means because all Walther factory records up to 1945 were destroyed following the Soviet occupation of the Zella-Mehlis region starting in June of that year.

 Article-Hitler's Commander- Field Marshal Walther Model--Hitler's Favorite General
The first English-language biography of one of Germany's top battlefield commanders-Hitler's favorite field marshal Field Marshal Walther Model (1891-1945) was an extremely capable and aggressive German commander who rose through the ranks of the Wehrmacht's high command during World War II.
Exhaustive research gives us an intriguing account of one of Hitler's most trusted commanders Walther Model was the German commander thrown by Adolph Hitler into so many of World War II's worst crises that contemporaries nicknamed him the `Fuhrer's fireman.' The son of a music teacher, he sported a monocle and a field marshal's baton.
Model's motivation was patriotism, but more likely he `internalized almost an eighteenth-century model of the professional soldier...one who served primarily for the glory of the fight...(with) single-minded focus on his own military success.' Newton suggests that Model's suicide had less to do with honor than his inability to face his own future in defeat.
