This fascinating collection of memoirs and interviews paints an intimate picture of Hitler by members of his household. These eyewitnesses were in the peculiar position of being connected to Hitler but totally unconnected to the world-shattering events that were going on further afield. The reader is introduced to Karl Wilhelm Krause, Hitler's valet from 1934 to 1939, then Herbert Döhring, his housekeeper from 1936 to 1943 and finally Anna Plaim, his chambermaid from 1941 tp 1943. From these accounts we get a deeper sense of Hitler in close proximity, including intimate details of his habits, health and behaviour.
