Description
The untold story of Germany's top aristocrats and their role in Hitler's secret diplomacy is revealed in this fascinating book. Karina Urbach explores how these influential individuals, including members of royal families, played a crucial part in shaping Germany's foreign policy during the Third Reich. Using previously unexplored sources from across Europe, Urbach sheds light on the lives of high-level go-betweens such as the Duke of Coburg and Stephanie von Hohenlohe. From their early careers to their later roles in post-war media and retirement, Urbach examines what became of these key figures after the Nazi collapse. This book provides a unique insight into the inner workings of the Third Reich's foreign policy, revealing the significance of these aristocratic go-betweens in shaping Germany's relations with Europe during one of its most tumultuous periods.
