Otto Dietrich was a thirty-four year old journalist when he met Adolf Hitler in 1931. In 1933 he was invited to become Hitler's press chief. He accepted with the simple, uncritical conviction that Hitler was dedicated to promoting peace and welfare for the German people. After the end of the war and five months after Hitler's death, imprisoned and disillusioned, Otto Dietrich sat down to write all that he had seen and heard during his twelve years of close association with Hitler. In 1948 he gave his memoir to someone he trusted requesting that it be published after his death. He died in 1952 at the age of fifty-five.
