Description
Paul Schmidt's memoir provides a unique insight into the inner workings of the Third Reich. As Hitler's main interpreter from 1935 to 1945, Schmidt was privy to key events and meetings, including the Munich Agreement and the surrender of France. Schmidt's experiences offer a fascinating glimpse into the minutiae of Third Reich thinking and planning. His account is particularly notable for its portrayal of the personal dynamics at play during these tumultuous years. For example, on the morning of September 3, 1939, Schmidt was tasked with delivering a translation to Hitler after Britain issued an ultimatum. This book sheds light on a period of significant historical importance, providing a fresh perspective on one of the most pivotal moments in modern history.
