Capture С Хитлер до края Drafted By Heinz Linge In Electronic Format

ми беше началник. Дори не мога да кажа найголемият ми началник, понеже нямаше друг, който да е над мен. Никой, даже Химлер и Борман, нямаше право да ми заповядва.

Сега, когато не ме е страх, че отново биха могли да ме хвърлят в затвора или в изправителен лагер, защото десет години съм бил в обкръжението на Хитлер и съм му служил, мога да кажа свободно и открито какво преживях с фюрера, до когото по принуда бях поблизо от всеки друг, с изключение на Ева Браун. “

Това е изповедта на Хайнц Линге личния помощник на Хитлер, който е неотлъчно до него отдо края му нааприлгодина. Намайг. щурмбанфюрер Линге е пленен от съветски войници и отведен в затвора на НКВД на Лубянка“. Следователите от СМЕРШ разпитват три години Линге и личния адютант на Хитлер Макс Вюнше. Сталин има натрапчивата идея, че Хитлер е инсценирал смъртта си и е успял да се укрие. Съветският вожд се интересува и от найдребни детайли от личния живот на фюрера. А точно Линге е човекът, чийто разказ е като поглед през ключалката"“в покоите на Хитлер.

Следгодини като военнопленник в Съветския съюз бившият началник на личния отдел на фюрера се завръща в родината си. По това време започват да излизат много сензационни“ мемоари на висши германски военни и политици. Линге обаче не се забърква в мемоарния поток“. Пълните му спомени за преживяното с Хитлер излизат едва след неговата смърт. Very interesting! Heinz Linge recounts a riveting and detailed narrative of day to day life with Adolf Hitler, As a member of Hitler's personal staff, he was one of the few who was with him nearly every single day for many years, thus he offers a unique perspective into the man, Adolf Hitler.
Linge shares little details about the dictator such as his love for his dog, Blondi, which really brings out the human side of Hitler,

With Hitler to the End is well written and is an easy read, Although one thing which was just a bit confusing to me was that while for the most part, the narrative is told chronologically, on several occasions, Linge drops in an anecdote which is out

of sequence.
Also, I was a bit surprised by his obvious admiration of Hitler even decades after the events, knowing the full scope of what Hitler was responsible for which he insists he had no knowledge of at the time of his service to the dictator.
Linge also claims that he was personally apolitical and had never even read Mein Kampf,

The most surprising thing to me, and that which left the biggest impression on my mind, is Hitler's staunch belief that he was acting under the direction of Providence.
This conviction was apparently not simply propaganda to instill confidence in the German people, but according to Linge, these sentiments were oft expressed by Hitler behind closed doors in conversations with only his closest circle of confidantes Linge included.
I found it so fascinating, and frankly, chilling, that one could be perpetrating some of the most heinous acts in history and yet still believe that they are doing what is right.


Linge writes very matteroffactly about everything he does not address the atrocities that were happening in the concentration camps or the like except to denounce any knowledge of them and in an almost conversational tone which is very easy to follow and which makes his account very believable.
Several times he refutes claims made and disputes facts asserted by others who were close to Hitler, insisting that he was at Hitler's side day and night for over a decade and therefore observed more than others and knew the dictator more closely than anyone other than Eva Braun Hitler's longtime mistress.
Whether or not his version of the facts is indeed accurate we will probably never know,

Even though I knew beforehand how the story ends I found myself so engrossed in the book during the latter pages that I couldn't put it down until I'd finished.
The details of the final days in the bunker are so gripping, and even heartbreaking in the case of an incident with the children of one of Hitler's ministers, that you can almost feel the tension that Linge describes.


Through this book, you get an inside look at the victories and defeats of the Third Reich as Linge recounts visits to the front, meetings with Mussolini, confidential strategy meetings with top military and Nazi Party officials and even more mundane things such as Hitler's failing health, his diet and seating preferences at dinners.
I think Linge's remark that "I had a theatrebox on history, and remained in it until it collapsed, . . " is an accurate sentiment that reflects the tone of the book, Those interested in history, especially World War II history, will find With Hitler to the End to be a worthwhile read,

NOTE: There are a couple instances of strong language when Linge cites a direct quotation and there are occasions where he recalls examples of a crass line of questioning that the Russians put him through during his imprisonment.
Because of these examples and the general subject matter of this story, I recommend this book for adults only, Witness to a “madman”

They say winners in war get to write the history, and so it is that Adolph Hitler is generally thought of as an evil lunatic not without a lot of cause.
But real life doesnt unfold in only black and white,percent evil,percent good terms,
The author, Hitlers valet for a decade, like several of his female secretaries, saw his charm and manners along with the anger and vengeance,
Knowing that historys greatest villain could also be caring and charming made him MORE dangerous and offers a cautionary tale for modern times, Those who dont remember history may be doomed to repeat it,
That lesson alone makes this book worth reading, .
