 The committee members were Hans Lammers (head of the Reich Chancellery), Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, chief of the "Oberkommando der Wehrmacht" (Armed Forces High Command; OKW), and Bormann, who controlled the Party.The committee was intended to independently propose measures regardless of the wishes of various ministries, with Hitler reserving most final decisions to himself.The committee, soon known as the "Dreierausschuß" (Committee of Three), met eleven times between January and August 1943.
