After Hitler's death, several posthumous books were published which
purported to be the verbatim words of the Nazi leader - two of the
most important of these documents were Hitler's Table Talk and The
Testament of Adolf Hitler. This ground-breaking book provides the
first in-depth analysis and critical study of Hitler's so-called
table talks and their history, provenance, translation, reception,
and usage. Based on research in public and private archives in four
countries, the book shows when, why, where, how, by and for whom
the table talks were written, how reliable the texts are, and how
historians should approach and use them. It reveals the crucial
role of the mysterious Swiss Nazi Francois Genoud, as well as some
very poor judgement from several famous historians in giving these
dubious sources more credibility than they deserved. The book sets
the record straight regarding the nature of these volumes as
historical sources - proving inter alia The Testament to be a
clever forgery - and aims to establish a new consensus on their
meaning and impact on historical research into Hitler and the Third
Reich. This path-breaking historical investigation will be of
considerable interest to all researchers and historians of the Nazi
era.
