Hitler's Shadow - In the Service of the Fuehrer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHtbKUTC4Qs
The personal story of Karl Wilhelm Krause. He was the valet. of the Fuehrer from 1934 to 1939, and was also responsible for his personal safety and security. Through his daily contact with Adolf Hitler, and those of his most intimate circle, both in his public life, as well as, inside the Fuehrer's private quarters, no one had access like Herr Krause. Nor was anyone ever in a better position to observe Hitler; his personal habits, character, and demeanor, and to assess his social interactions with average citizens, employees, friends and colleagues, public figures, academics, leaders of industry, as well as, with foreign leaders and dignitaries. In this one and only interview, recorded on camera in the early 90s, Herr Krause testifies of his duties, his daily routine, and what he saw, heard and experienced, while in the constant presence of, and service to, the leader of the The Third Reich. Hitler called him "mein Schatten" (my shadow).
This looks very interesting - thanks for uploading, mami.
ReplyDeleteHeinz Linge became Hitler's Valet in 1939 and was with him every day until 1945. His book "With Hitler to the End" is worth checking out. It also dispels the myth that HItler survived and moved to Argentina, since Linge was in the adjacent room when Hitler committed suicide.
"Hitler was my Friend" by Heinrich Hoffman, Hitler's photographer is worth a read, since he accompanied AH to almost every political event beginning well before he took power. Almost every picture you see of AH was taken by Hoffman.
Lastly, "The Young Hitler I knew" by August Kibuzek is a must read. He was Hitler's best friend as a young man and was his roommate in Vienna. It gives a lot of insight to AH's personality, and dispels the myth that he was a homosexual.
Albert Speer's "The Third Reich" paints a much less flattering picture of AH, but it should be noted that the book was written while Speer was in Spandau Prison. It is very probable that he was given a reduced time at Spandau in exchange for airing as much dirty laundry as possible.
BTW, I am not a Neo Nutzi or a Hitler worshipper. If you want to get an idea of who he really was, it is better to read books by people who actually knew him, rather than half baked conspirotard books written 50 years later.

ReplyDeleteThere's always that little known tome that he wrote himself called Mein Kampf ...
The Ford version makes easier reading for those that speak English and for its accuracy.
The following is a good demonstration of the mistakes made by reading the wrong version.
Mein Kampf Translation Controversy
Though I'm not ashamed to say that I am quite the fan, he after all had the solutions, to what ails us all.
I watched this a couple of days ago and really enjoyed it.

ReplyDeleteTo a Jew, you are a "Hitler Worshiper". I say this because you are encouraging people to seek the truth about the man.
This is "jew speak". Another example is if you were to state a fact about what jews have done, and are doing, as an organized collective with an international dynamic network, then you would be considered an "anti-semite" or, perhaps, another Chosenite favorite, a "hater". You might even be considered a "self-hater" if you were a jew.
Truth about certain topics or subjects is hate and worshiping evil in jew-speak land.
