Too many negatives

[Richard Hargreaves]

Natürlich würde mit der Berufung Zeitzlers für das Kleeblatt Keitel-Jodl-Warlimont auch dann ziemlich zwangsläufig die Stunde des Scheidens schlagen, wenn ihnen der Führer nicht, wie er es seit 3 Wochen tat, den obligaten Händedruck vorenthielte

which I've so far translated as

With Zeitzler's appointment, of course, the hour of departure for the triumvirate of Keitel-Jodl-Warlimont will inevitably come if the Führer continues to refuse to offer them obligatory handshake - as he has done for the past three weeks.

* Bump *

It's the second half of the sentence which I'm struggling with:

wenn ihnen der Führer nicht, wie er es seit 3 Wochen tat, den obligaten Händedruck vorenthielte

perhaps:

unless the Führer stops refusing to offer them the obligatory handshake - as he's done for the past three weeks?

Hello Richard, what is your question exactly? Your translation looks good to me so far.

[Richard Hargreaves]

That was my question, Fridgeman.

Had I got my translation correct? Looks like I have for once!
