AT HITLER'S SIDE THE MEMOIRS OF HITLER'S LUFTWAFFE ADJUTANT 1937-1945
Book Type: C By Nicolaus von Below. Nicolaus von Below was a 29-year-old pilot when Hermann Goering selected him for the position of Hitler's Luftwaffe adjutant, and was the last of Hitler's close military entourage to leave the Berlin bunker alive. Written in 1980, this is Von Below's carefully researched account of the German campaigns of World War II, interspersed with memories of the Führer and insight into how Hitler planned the invasions of Poland and Russia, what he thought of Britain and America, why he placed his faith in the V-1 and V-2 rockets, and much more. Von Below also records the effect on Hitler and his staff following the assassination attempt in July 1944. A record of the war and the Third Reich, the book is on another level an unintended mirror of its author, revealing the compartmentalization of the Nazi mindâeven after 35 years, Von Below maintained a deep respect for Hitler's military strategies, blaming his failures on his staff. And though he worked with Hitler on a daily basis, Von Below professes complete ignorance of the concentration camps and the genocide of the Jews. 255 pp. |
