Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Shocked by the 1979 broadcast of Holocaust , 16-year-old West German Brandenburg undertook a personal search to learn the truth about the Nazis. He interviewed Nazi generals, bureaucrats, secretaries, and others who--incredibly and inexplicably--share intimate, extremely revealing memories of their beloved Fuhrer. Penned by professional writer Melchior, the book reads like a detective thriller as it details both the information-gathering process and the startling material Brandenburg uncovered on such still-unresolved issues as Nazi postwar escape routes, the leadership of an international Nazi underground by a still-living Martin Bormann, the location of missing Nazi documents and stolen treasures. Though it should be approached with caution by historians, this riveting story masterfully exposes the fascist mentality, which is by no means extinct. It can be enjoyed by layperson and scholar alike.
