Features: Krista Schr?der followed Hitler for 12 years, serving him day and night. In the Chancellery, in Berghof, and even in the Berlin bunker, she stayed by his side until just a few days before his death. The formation of Nazism and its expansionist policies may be familiar to us through many historical documents, but the true face of this instigator of World War II has always been obscured by fragments of newsreel footage. What we see is only his image as he raged against the civilized world. Krista Schr?der's testimony, however, is unequivocally authentic. Krista Schr?der's experience is truly shocking! In 1930, she became one of Germany's 7 million unemployed, yet by 1933, she had risen to become Hitler's personal secretary, serving him for 12 years and obeying him day and night. In the Chancellery, in Berghof, and even in the Berlin bunker, she stayed by his side until just a few days before his death. This book is her memoir of these 12 years as his secretary, presenting an unconventional Hitler to us and allowing us to gain a deeper understanding of him and his inner personality.
