This is the untold story of how some of Germany's top aristocrats
contributed to Hitler's secret diplomacy during the Third Reich,
providing a direct line to their influential contacts and relations
across Europe - especially in Britain, where their contacts
included the press baron and Daily Mail owner Lord Rothermere and
the future King Edward VIII. Using previously unexplored sources
from Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, and the
USA, Karina Urbach unravels the story of top-level go-betweens such
as the Duke of Coburg, grandson of Queen Victoria, and the
seductive Stephanie von Hohenlohe, who rose from a life of poverty
in Vienna to become a princess and an intimate of Adolf Hitler. As
Urbach shows, Coburg and other senior aristocrats were tasked with
some of Germany's most secret foreign policy missions from the
First World War onwards, culminating in their role as Hitler's
trusted go-betweens, as he readied Germany for conflict during the
1930s - and later, in the Second World War. Tracing what became of
these high-level go-betweens in the years after the Nazi collapse
in 1945 - from prominent media careers to sunny retirements in
Marbella - the book concludes with an assessment of their overall
significance in the foreign policy of the Third Reich.
