This is the personal account of a Luftwaffe aide always at Hitler's
side from 1937 until the last days in Berlin, now published for the
first time in English. Nicolaus von Below was a 29-year-old pilot
when Goering selected him for the position of Hitler's Luftwaffe
adjutant. He was with Hitler at every stage as the Second World War
unfolded. His observations tell of HitlerÕs responses to momentous
events as well as military decisions and policy-making at Fuhrer
Headquarters. This is a superb source describing life in Hitler's
inner circle, relied upon on by Gitta Sereny in her biography of
Albert Speer. He provides fascinating insight into how Hitler
planned the invasions of Poland and Russia, what he thought of
Britain and America, why he placed his faith in the V-1 and V-2
projects, how others dealt with him, and much more. Von Below was
present at the assassination attempt in July 1944, and records the
effect on Hitler and his followers. Von Below was the last of
Hitler's close military entourage to emerge from the bunker alive.
His frank memoir will appeal to anyone interested in how Hitler ran
his war. He was denounced to the British in 1946 and imprisoned as
a material witness at Nuremberg, until being discharged in 1947.
