Yes, that was Hitler doing his damage. Luckily for the allies and luckily for the German population, since if the generals had stayed in charge, the war would have been longer and the first nuclear bomb would have been dropped over Europe.
But Hitler worked his voodoo starting with the decision to halt before Dunkirk. Before that he didn't interfere.
