*Hitler's failure to find a mate, it was once suggested, is at the core of his failure as a human being, and is the source of his demonic, destructive spirit. It was Hitler's and the world's tragedy that he did not realise he had found that mate until hours before his demise (and hers). Here is a true account of that strange protracted search in a Nazi Germany at peace and war. This is an insider view of the Fuhrer, whose love life stands revealed as lying at the very heart and core of the tormented psychopath who destroyed a continent. Such an insider view is not the prerogative of the grand and the privileged - the generals and ministers and ambassadors - rather it is the secret privilege of the minions and confidential attendants, who see all and hear all as they go about their daily service: the valet, the maid, the personal secretary, the special advisor, the psychoanalyst and personal physician, and above all the young women in Hitler's life for whom being with Hitler was 'like sitting next to the sun.' Accessing a multitude of sources, including surviving documents, eye-witness accounts, interrogation reports, personal confessions, contemporary film footage.

*Amidst the libraries of scholarship on the public deeds of Adolf Hitler, much of the private life of this thoroughly evil figure remains enigmatic. The Women Who Knew Hitler reveals a new dimension and insider’s view of Hitler, whose love life, with all its complexities, inadequacies, and brutality, is posited as lying at the very core of the tormented dictator who murdered millions and nearly destroyed a continent. Accessing a multitude of sources, including surviving documents, eyewitness accounts, interrogation reports, even U.S. intelligence files and private papers revealed here for the first time, the authors reposition Hitler in a vivid, updated form for a new generation of historians and readers.
