The Führer's close circle. The Führer's close circle in the Third Reich and beyond

Heike B. Görtemaker

Who helped Hitler seize power? Who formed his inner circle? Who was his biggest influence? What privileges did they enjoy? What happened after the end of the war? Historian Heike B. Görtemaker disproves the myth of the "lonely" Hitler. He presents hitherto unknown documents that prove that since the 1920s Hitler has always had people who cared about his image and provided him with money and "high" allies in various countries. He takes us to his luxurious mountain shelter and watches the daily life of his "Yard". Particular emphasis is placed on the role of the women of the "Courtyard", the mighty Magda Goebbels, Nietzsche's sister, Wagner's daughter and the Führer's very young mistresses: from his niece to Eva Brown.
