- TriviaHe was initially a major supporter of Adolf Hitler. Canaris first suggested using the Star of David to identify Jews in 1935, and he was instrumental in persuading Hitler to intervene in the Spanish Civil War. He only turned against Hitler by 1939 because he knew Germany would lose a major war.
- QuotesWe officers ... should always recognize that without the Führer and his NSDAP, the restoration of German military greatness and military strength would not have been possible ... the officer's duty is to be a living example of National Socialism and make the German Wehrmacht reflect the fulfillment of National Socialist ideology. That must be our grand design.
