The link between Hitler's Third Reich and European royalty has gone
largely unexplored due to the secrecy surrounding royal families.
Now, in Royals and the Reich, Jonathan Petropoulos uses
unprecedented access to royal archives to tell the fascinating
story of Queen Victoria's great-grandsons, the Princes of Hesse,
and the important role they played in the Nazi regime. Petropolous
tells the fascinating tale of how, lured by prominent positions in
the Nazi regime and highly susceptible to nationalist appeals, the
princes became enthusiastic supporters of Hitler and helped make
the Nazis socially acceptable to wealthy, high-society patrons.
Permitted access to Hessen family private papers and the Royal
Archives at Windsor Castle, Petropoulos follows the story of the
House of Hesse through to its tragic denouement - the princes'
betrayal and persecution by an increasingly paranoid Hitler,
followed by prosecution after the war.
