Description
The story of Germany's top aristocrats and their role in Hitler's secret diplomacy during the Third Reich is one of intrigue and deception. Karina Urbach sheds light on this previously untold chapter, revealing how influential contacts were established across Europe, including Britain, where key figures such as Lord Rothermere and King Edward VIII played a part. Through previously unexplored sources from various countries, Urbach uncovers the story of high-ranking aristocrats like the Duke of Coburg and Stephanie von Hohenlohe, who rose from humble beginnings to become intimate advisors to Adolf Hitler. Their roles in Germany's secret foreign policy missions during World War I and the 1930s are exposed, as well as their involvement in Hitler's preparations for conflict. The book concludes by tracing the lives of these go-betweens after the Nazi collapse in 1945, from their prominent media careers to their retirements in Marbella. This assessment provides valuable insight into the significance of these individuals in the foreign policy of the Third Reich.
