I Was Hitler's Pilot
A chilling memoir by the man who flew the Führer. A decorated First World War pilot, Hans Baur was one of the leading commercial aviators of the 1920s before being pitched into the thick of it as personal pilot to a certain “Herr Hitler.” Hitler, who loathed flying, felt safe with Baur and would allow no one else to pilot him. As a result, an intimate relationship developed between the two men and it is this which gives these memoirs special significance. Hitler relaxed in Baur’s company and talked freely of his plans and of his real opinions about his friends and allies. Baur was also present during some of the most salient moments of the Third Reich; the Röhm Putsch, the advent of ...

Trapped by the Red Army in the war-torn city of Berlin, Baur was captured after Hitler's suicide and imprisoned in the USSR until 1955." "Hitler's Personal Pilot details many surprising episodes, such as the time Baur allowed Italian dictator Benito Mussolini to take the controls of the Fuehrer's plane, much to Hitler's discomfort, and an account of Hitler and Baur's narrow escape from a German air base in 1943 just as Soviet tanks arrived at the perimeter. Aviation buffs will also enjoy the author's in-depth examination of the historic aircraft used in Hitler's personal transport squadron. This unique book will fascinate both experts and novices on Nazi Germany with its perspective on Hitler's infamous inner circle."--Jacket.

He Was My Chief
“A rare and fascinating insight into Hitler’s inner circle.” —Roger Moorhouse, author of Killing Hitler As secretary to the Führer throughout the time of the Third Reich, Christa Schroeder was perfectly placed to observe the actions and behavior of Hitler, along with the most important figures surrounding him. Schroeder’s memoir delivers fascinating insights: she notes his bourgeois manners, his vehement abstemiousness, and his mood swings. Indeed, she was ostracized by Hitler for a number of months after she made the mistake of publicly contradicting him once too often. In addition to her portrayal of Hitler, there are illuminating anecdotes about Hitler’s closest colleagues. S...
