Guarding Hitler: The Secret World of the Führer

"A hive of interesting facts and almost unbelievable stories about Adolf Hitler . . . Well worth a look. Well worth a read." —War History Online

Based on intelligence documents, personal testimonies, memoirs, and official histories, including material only declassified in 2010, Guarding Hitler provides the reader with a fascinating inside look at the secret world of Hitler's security and domestic arrangements. The book focuses in particular on both the official and private life of Hitler during the latter part of the war, at the Wolf's Lair at Rastenburg, and Hitler's private residence at Berchtesgaden, the Berghof.

Guarding Hitler manages to offer fresh insights into the life and routine of the Führer, and most importantly, the often indiscreet opinions, observations, and activities of the "little people" who surrounded Hitler but whose stories have been overshadowed by the great affairs of state.

It covers not only the plots against Hitler's life but the way security developed as a result. His use of "doubles" is examined as is security while traveling by land or air.

As little has been written about the security and domestic life of Adolf Hitler, Guarding Hitler allows the reader to delve deeper into this previously overlooked aspect of the world's most infamous man.

"A fascinating view into the close world Hitler inhabited and which shaped his life and decisions." —Fire Reviews
