After the war the German generals blamed Hitler for the defeats and claimed that they were responsible for the early victories. This narrative still lives on, but is it correct?

Generals blaming Hitler (feat. Dr. Roman Töppel)

An old repeated story is that the Wehrmacht was successful when the German generals were in command, yet once Hitler took over everything went down the drain. This narrative is especially prevalent in the memoirs of the German generals, which were and are repeated over and over again. The question is, how valid is this view? After all, it seems too simple to be true. Dr. Roman Töppel, who is one of the 4 co-publishers of the critical of "Mein Kampf" explains his findings and views here.

It's always dangerous not to give the last guy his due because you're more likely to underestimate the next guy.

I hesitate to bring it up, but TIK talked some about the weirdo economic shit that Hitler believed in (Shrinking Markets, Purity of Blood, Autarky etc). Did others in Nazi leadership believe in the same things? Were they actually important reasons for launching campaigns?

I am no expert on the nazi leadership, but from what I know generally that they believed some weird stuff and even nowadays economics (more so macro-economics less so micro- economics) is a rather difficult field, this starts with the political views and ends with financial crises that were obvious in hindsight, but nearly no-one saw before they were coming. Another aspect is of course how many of our decisions are conscious and how much is actually just bullshit rationalizations. If you add psychology to the mix, it becomes rather obscure. And since the nazis had some really esoteric views as well, you basically have a cocktail of economics + psychology + esoterics, where each of its own is basically a burning dumpster fire of a debate if you ask 2 different people, but you have 3 and now add on top several people from which we don't have something like "Mein Kampf" or the "Second Book".
