Features: Krista Schroeder 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 The formation of Nazism and its expansionist policies, although many historical documents about them are already familiar to us, the true face of the architect of World War II has always been obscured by fragments of newsreel footage. What we see is only his image shouting madly at the civilized world, while Krista Schroeder's testimony is far more accurate. Krista Schroeder's experience is truly shocking! In 1930, she became one of Germany's 7 million unemployed, but 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 a complex Hitler to us and allowing us to gain a deeper understanding of Hitler and his inner personality.
