The fascinating first-hand account by a top defector of the ruthlessness, spy intrigues and curious personalities of the Third Reich. A unique and intimate record, full of surprises, sardonic wit and tragic endings. "Gestapo tactics:" Espionage, intrigue, and subversion. Cunning, cynical, and ruthless in exploiting every human weakness - and murdering anyone who got in the way. Koehler was a special agent working for the top Nazi cop Heydrich, head of the Gestapo, the Secret State Police. He earns his spurs as spying in France, disguised as a Trotskyist refugee, laying the groundwork for Germany to annex these provinces, and matching wits with French and Communist intelligence services. A keen observer and skilful narrator, Koehler reveals how the Gestapo secretly financed and supported the Rumanian Iron Guard and the Spanish Fascists. Then he is sent undercover to a concentration camp to finger a fugitive. What he sees there, and the flogging that puts him in hospital, sows the seeds of his plan to escape. His next mission is to recover "The Fatal File" - documents showing that Hitler's grandmother became pregnant while working as a maid in the Rothschild mansion in Vienna - the Austrian chancellor's secret blackmail weapon to hold Nazi Germany at bay. Heydrich advises Koehler to employ a beautiful Countess to inveigle the file - Austria is disarmed - and the Wehrmacht marches into Austria. Koehler is then promoted to the detail guarding Hitler's residence in the Alps, and gets his chance to escape to Switzerland, where he writes INSIDE THE GESTAPO. In 1943 the OSS commissioned a psychological profile of Hitler by Walter Langer, who drew on the revelations in this book. In 1972 Langer followed up with The Mind of Adolf Hitler: The Secret Wartime Report, which became a mass-market bestseller.

an insider account of the Gestapo

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2010

Verified Purchase

An overview of the Gestapo by an insider, although a minor insider who left Germany in 1939 and was hunted ever since I believe, the book seems to be in two parts and it is suggested that the author, a pseudonym, sent a manuscript to the publishers who then took it and added their own second part, its a fascinating read about the time and plenty of names mentioned but its not a historical document, and I fear much of its not entirely accurate, so I am told but as this man figured in my life somehow, I thought I should read it, he also went under the alias Korb, as well as his own name, Pfeiffer. The english is good so my theory of it having been put together by the English publisher may be true.

Worth the read

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2020

Overall, the entire book is worth the read. It gives you a nice (rare) perspective from someone who broke away from the Nazis at the height of their power. I have read a decent number of books written by 'former' high-ranking Nazis after the war, rarely do you get an account of someone exiting that circle during the early period of the war when their victory seemed much more probably. Apart from that, there is one part (for me, by far the most interesting part) of the book towards the end. Just before the Anschluss, the author claims to have come across documents that would re-write history. On its own, his claims don't hold much weight, but you can find a plethora of supporting evidence in other people's books. It is just a question of how deep the rabbit hole you want to go.

Info ou intox?

Reviewed in France on March 30, 2016

Vrai ou faux? Info ou intox? Ce document fourmillant de révélations sur la Gestapo d'avant 1939 aurait été écrit par un gestapiste repenti, passé en Angleterre peu avant la guerre. Cette édition est la reproduction des pages de l'édition originale, telle qu'elle est parue à Londres au début de la drôle de guerre. Je serais curieuse de savoir quel a été le retentissement de cet ouvrage, non pas chez le commun des mortels qui avait bien d'autres chats à fouetter, mais dans les cercles militaires ou diplomatiques. Car les révélations de ce livre, si tant est qu'elles soient avérées , font froid dans le dos : cet ouvrage contient en germe toutes les manipulations et les abominations dont les Nazis se sont rendus coupables pendant leurs douze années au pouvoir, sachant qu'au moment de la parution, le IIIe Reich n'avait pas encore étendu sa domination sur toute l'Europe. Que ce livre ait véritablement été écrit par un ancien de la Gestapo ou qu'il soit une manipulation des services secrets britanniques, c'est un ouvrage de contre-propagande terriblement efficace, témoignage effrayant sur les méthodes de la Gestapo et des Nazis en général. Il a probablement été diffusé de manière confidentielle à sa parution, mais comme il est impossible qu'il soit passé au travers des mailles du filet de la censure à l'époque, par conséquent il est difficile aux puissances alliées de dire qu'elles ignoraient ce qui se tramait en Allemagne...
