Hitler loved movies and was known for watching them late into the night, then sleeping in and you'd better not wake him up before noon. He also loved to have coffee with his secretaries. These diversions contributed to some of his absences and probably to his questionable decision making during key points in the war. Thank God he was an idiot who had idiot habits.
