Hitler’s Court

While the public persona of Adolf Hitler was one of a selfless leader, putting his own happiness to one side in order to lead the German nation out of the wilderness, the reality was, of course, somewhat different. He had close friends, an inner circle that celebrated, flattered and intrigued him, and one that enabled Hitler to keep everyone else at arm’s length.

This then, is the guide to these close acquaintances, as the NSDAP rose to power, the war years and what happened to them afterwards. It’s very well balanced, discussing opposing theories on matters such as what really was the relationship with his niece, Geli Raubal, and at times leaving the reader to draw their own conclusions. It’s a skilful and intriguing look at the people in Hitler’s own private court.
