| Notes: | Here is the story of Hitler himself, his love affairs, his imprisonment, his passion for the arts of war, his suicide, and the maniacal fury which led him to destroy the country he claimed to love so much. Here is the record of the German General Staff, the concentration camps, the brutal terror of anti-Semitism, the degradation of the German people, and the little-known reisstance plots against the Nazis. Here are new and sensational details about the Nazi-Soviet Pact of 1939, the frame-up of leading German generals, the shabby efforts to appease Hitler, the reasons for Germany's failure to invade England, Hitler's secret speeches to his generals, a plot to kidnap the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and hundreds of other inside stories of the war. |
