Examines Adolf Hitler's closest inner circle members individually and as a group and focuses on Hitler's three most important Nazi men: Goring, Goebbels, and Himmler, with a secondary inspection of Bormann, Speer, and Ribbentrop.
This book examines the different nature of the war on the Eastern and Western fronts; the disparate treatment afforded the two groups of POWs and civilians; and Hitler's scorched-earth policy.
By the middle of 1933 the democracy of the Weimar Republic had been transformed into the police state of the Third Reich, led by Adolf Hitler. In six years Germany found itself radically reshaped and prepared for the war that began on September 1, 1939.
Adolf Hitler enlisted in the Bavarian Army in August 1914. He served with distinction in World War I and won both classes of the Iron Cross. His conversion from passive to pathological anti-Semitism began while invalided in Germany in 1916-17. It is no exaggeration to say that every military decision made by Hitler between 1939 and 1945 was in some way influenced or coloured by his experiences with the List Regiment between 1914 and 1918.
