Hitler most lied about person in history as is his book.
342247
Anyone who has ever read Mein Kampf can easily see that Hitler is the most lied about person to ever walk the Earth. History is written by the victors and Jewish Communists won WW2 with help from the U.S. The "rantings of a madman" accusations are easily debunked. Hitler mentions nothing about killing Jews, because gas chambers never existed but that is a whole different story. There is nothing in the book about terrorism or extermination. It is simply a book about how Hitler saw his German people thriving in the future after the nation had been butchered by Jews after the first world war.

I completed reading 'Hitler's Revolution' on Sep 2, 2013 and found it to be one of the best and most enlightening investigations into the mind of Adolf Hitler, who, unquestionably, is the most maligned person in history.  I also recently read R.H.S. Stolfi's 'HITLER Beyond Evil and Tyranny', and General Leon Degrelle's 'Hitler Democrat'.  These three books should be required reading for anyone who truly seeks objective viewpoints regarding Hitler.  I highly recommend all three books, but especially 'Hitler's Revolution'.  Tedor expounds truth surrounding Hitler's brilliance, drive and dedication to extract Post WWI Germany from the draconian dictates of the Versailles Treaty, and his single-minded determination to restore Germany to its rightful place as Europe's leading economic, cultural and military power.  Particlularly illuminating is Chapter 4, Europe in the Vice, pages 137 to 185, of Tedor's book.  Tedor explains in detail the evil machinations of the Jews who controlled the communist FDR and used him as their instrument to force Hitler into war with the US by baiting the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor.  The stupidity, ignorance and arrogance of the general American populace in the early decades of the 20th Century played directly into the hands of world Jewry in placing full blame for WWII on Hitler and the "evil" German people.  On page 198, Tedor provides a comment from an early 1940's German publication that accurately portrays American arrogance during that time.  August Halfeld, in "US im Krieg" stated "One of the main deficiencies in the mentality of the American is that he has no clear comprehension of other peoples.  For this reason, he shrugs off their rights and natural requirements for life with a wave of the hand.  He claims the prerogative to dictate his boundless wishes to the rest of the world, thanks to an unrivaled sense of superiority."  Sadly, this statement rings just as true in 2013 as it did in the early 1940's.  I admit to be an unabashed admirer of Adolf Hitler.  In my estimation he was truly the greatest person of the 20th Century.  The world would be a much better place today had the American people supported Hitler and Germany in WWII, rather than surrendering to the Rothschilds and the Jew power structure who continue their goal of world conquest through the machinations of the New World Order.  While Tedor's book, along with Stolfi's and Degrelle's contribute much truth regarding Hitler, there is no substitute for understanding Hitler than will be found in Mein Kampf (the unexpurgated version).

The book is mistitled and the author has been deceived. The greatest lie ever told was started by Satan himself in the Garden of Eden. But it didn't really take off until a few hundred years ago and now much of the world and virtually everyone in America, Christians included, believe it. Do you know what that lie is? "We can be as the gods?" No, that's a good lie but that's not the greatest lie.

Hilmar von Campe was seven years old when Hitler took over Germany. "The main preoccupation of my parents during the Nazi years was to save us children from Nazi indoctrination" says Hilmar. At 10 years old, like every other child, he was required by law to enter the Hitler Youth, and at 18 he was conscripted into the army. He was a gunner in a tank in the Yugoslavian theatre fighting the Soviet army, became a prisoner of war of the Communist Tito government in 1945, and in the same year staged a sensational escape crossing seven borders by following the North Star by night and hiding in bushes by day. The destruction of Germany, the loss of his father in a Soviet concentration camp, the death of his elder brother in the war with the Soviet Union, and the expulsion from their home in Eastern Europe, had a profound impact on von Campe. His reports about the Nazi years and the war are a lesson of history as he brings facts unknown to most Americans.

As a student of economics at the University of Hamburg, he had to come to grips with the question, "How could this happen?" and reflects upon his own moral responsibilities for the atrocities of a godless government. He discovered that the Nazi system was built on lies and contempt of human life and that his link, as well as that of millions of Germans to the Nazis, was the lie. "I lied for personal gains and they lied for political power. But a lie is a lie," he stated. "The bystander is as responsible as the criminal."

 "All materialistic totalitarian ideologies, the Nazis, the Communists, and the radical Islamists are based on lies and hatred," von Campe maintains. "They have a common source." His comparisons of the National Socialist ideology and society with the other ideologies and modern society are unique. Having lived nearly thirty years in various countries of Latin America, and equipped with the experience of one who has traveled the world, resulting in a broad basis of political comparison, Hilmar speaks to warn America in this book, Defeating the Totalitarian Lie, linking shockingly similar developments between Nazi-Germany and America today.

"America needs a God-inspired ideology - only on that road can America fulfill her destiny and as a nation under God, give moral leadership to the world and make truth the basis of all human relationships."

A MUST READ!!!

It seems that in total he killed thousands of people. He says that he fought communism, not Russian people. Rubbish!! What was he and his fellow bandits doing in Russia? Who invited them? No regrets, no remorses that "cultural people" like Germans followed Hitler to the bitter end. Anyway I believed half of it, not more.

Of the dozens of books Ive read about the Holocaust, The Emperor of Lies is the first Ive put down without finishing.  Not that it wasn't well written.  Not that it didn't tell a compelling, unique story.  At page 358, barely halfway through this immense fictionalization of life in the Lodz ghetto, I just couldn't continue participating in such an unrelenting catalogue of horrors.  Other readers may appreciate the chance to be shocked over and over and over.
  The books intense focus is on its antihero, Mordechai Chaim Rumkowski, who was appointed by the Nazis to run the ghetto.  He hoped to maximize survival of the quarter of a million Jews who lived in one square mile of the city.  His method was to force them to labor unceasingly producing war materiel for their captors.  His autocratic rule, his corruption, his perversions and his implementation of the most cruel Nazi extermination orders have made him a symbol of collaborationism.  Swedish author Steve Sem-Sandberg records and imagines one atrocity after another.  By the end, virtually every Jew in Lodz was starved to death, murdered in Lodz or exterminated in a death campincluding Rumkowski.

An article  and book which alleged that Pope Pius XII  as being allied with Nazi Germany compelled me to conduct my own research.
Accusers of crimes should prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. I do not believe any such credible evidence exists against Pope Pius XII. My research seems to indicate the opposite.  He was a friend of the Jewish people and although officially neutral, he fought Hitler  in whatever way possible. See Gary Krupp's The Documented Truth on sale as a book. And see on You Tube  "The Documented Truth on Pope Pius XII and the holocaust. Dr. Francesco Paolo Oliver reveals his studies which at this point is I believe incontrovertible.

 T he Pope's Secret  War Against Hitler  reports that Pope Pius XII was part of a three sided attack on Nazism.

The story wasn't very believable.  A Nazi would not be taken into confidence the way the author portrayed in the book.  I felt betrayed at the end.

Dear Amazon readers, if you are looking for more detailed analyses, please refer to the other excellent five star reviews.  This is an overview.  Full disclosure, I am associated with this book project reviewing information, providing initial translations, as a reader, and whatever else required.  Patricia Posner is half of the husband-wife team that has produced 11 critically acclaimed non-fiction history books, none of them read like a boring dry history book that would put you to sleep before you finished the first chapter.  I hate to use the term history book but everything in this day and age seems to require a label.  The Pharmacist of Auschwitz is not another such book.

At its core, this is about truth and lies,  The lies told by Hitler and the Nazi high command on down, by a really ordinary man - the protagonist Victor Capesius a middling pharmaceutical rep before the war, a most ghastly dastardly murderer and thief during the war, by his fellow Nazi associates, all of them either doctors, pharmacists, or dentists, by the new German Courts who didn't want to try his legal case at all, by the Farben Industrialists who were the true power of the Nazi Wehrmacht that all ended getting a slap on the wrist for their crimes.  They all got away with murder  literally.

You get a sense of the many Frankenstein monsters continually lurking throughout this book.  One such example is the visualization Posner details of the parties and short vacations by various members of the Auschwitz staff including Capesius took in between the constant gassings is one such WTH moment.  Posners persistent theme that they all thought this was perfectly normal combined with their attempts of creating their own fantasy world to deal with the reality is almost unimaginable.  The truth is told by the survivors - the eyewitnesses of this Final Solution insanity, by the German prosecutors who went to extraordinary lengths to try Capesius in court.

Is this maddening?  Yes, absolutely and Posner tells it in a clear and concise voice.  All of the subjects and storylines are thoroughly fleshed out and very developed.  Posners narrative style is sparing without you dear reader feeling drowned in too much minutiae losing sight of the characters or storyline.  She provides a mesmerizing tableau and at times boarding on almost unbelievable and insane story that moves right along that is absolutely and completely REAL.

Truth is stranger than fiction and this book fits that adage to a tee.  Then there are detailed black and white photographs to go along with those stories.  The Pharmacist of Auschwitz is really a thriller that happens to be true and will keep you wondering and guessing and angry and screaming and clapping all the way through to the end.  (I had a very strong visceral reaction the first time I read it).  The genesis of this book, is the indirect result of the in-depth research work Patricia did on husband Geralds (with John Ware) 1986 freakishly scary block buster, Mengele, in which she details in the Preface of her book, There was a pharmacist in Auschwitz?  Yes indeed, who would have thought, right?

If you are looking for a book that is a history of the holocaust, this is not the book to read.  I would recommend "Holocausts" by Martin Gilbert.

How would I describe tis book is its like being in a room with 100 Holocaust survivors.  And they tell there stories.  Some of the stories are short, a paragraph long, some are a page and half long.  There is no rhyme or reason to how the stories are organized.  Some of the stories are emotionally devastating, and others are thought provoking.

It an historical fact that 6 million Jews, and another 5 million non Jews died in these camps.  While that statistic is shocking and unbelievable, it does not tell the real picture.  These stories not only tell the stories of death, but also the sadistic manner it was applied.  The Nazis did everything in their power to dehumanize these people.  They thought up the most horrible ways to kill people, that cause the most suffering and pain.

Since this book is made up of individual accounts, it puts a real human face to the holocaust.  People would scream for their mothers, not knowing their mother was standing next to them.  Some stories told how the conditions made them do things, they never thought they would do.  This is why this book is so powerful, and why I would highly recommend it.

"Back in 1936, even Hitler was no Hitler." Ignore the reviews, borrow a copy and just read it. A book that is too important to miss.

Altho, the prevarications of earlier presidents are not included, this book weaves a fastenating tale of how one lie begets another, leaving a trail of falsehoods paving the past. The failure of FDR to truly report the agreements of the Tehran Conference, opened the door to continued deceit by the Administrations that followed down to the present day and the failed policies that developed from this course, which I am afraid has cost this country the good will of most of the rest of the world.

"Confessions of a Economic Hit Man" which I purchased simultaniously really meshes with this volumn, almost as if it were planned.

I had the opportunity of corresponding and meeting John Toland when I was a teenager and he was a remarkable man and a great writer. This is by far the best and most readable biography ever written on Hitler. Toland  eschews, thankfully, the ridiculous psycho-babble which ruins many other  major Hitler biographies.
Toland interviewed over 300 people close to  Hitler: Tradul Junge, his secretary, Max Wunsche and Richard Schultze, his  adjutants, Eva Braun's best friend and many others. He went to the source  and his oral interviews constitute a tremendous historical  resource.
Toland shows that Hitler was sexually normal, which is  important since Hitler's supposed "deviant sexuality" is the  lynchpin of many inferior books.
If you are to read one book about Adolf  Hitler, make it this one. Nothing better has come down the pike in the 25  years since this books publication. For anyone interested in the history of  the 20th century and World War II, this is a must read.

Hitler's Pope: the condition was excellent; the content damning.

Way to detailed about the Germans so much unneeded info about them . The book is a German autobiography more than it's about Patton. The author goes out of his way to distory General George Patton and discredit his name. The only credit I can give to this book is it took a lot of research into German war records to write . The book should be named War from the German prospective . It does nothing but try and discredit every thing I have read about Patton in all the many books I have read on the General . Shameful and written with so much unneeded info it's hard to retain much of the info. Unless he is discrediting Patton that's the only thing I got out of the whole book .

The excuses that all the excesses and mass murders of Stalin's era were caused by his henchmen are exposed. Not only Stalin knew about it, he personally initiated them and pursued them relentlessly. The Russians won WWII not so much because of him but despite his blunders and the severe purges he conducted in his army. He finally let his generals manage but then he was jealous of their successes. The book painstakingly revealed in minute details the crooked personality of this egomaniac, and how he destroyed practically everyone near him. How absolute power corrupts absolutely. No one was safe. This book suffers of focusing too much on the persons and not enough on events, as many books by this author. A lesson in history: it has happened and can happen again.

New insight into an old horrible story. In the past I have read many books covering the NAZI horror story, but this author brings out all the dirty linen in this well written and researched book. Let me put it this way, this book struck a nerve like never before and I consider myself an ongoing student of history which encompasses these past seven decades. The author must be commended on his research and knowledge of a society that a writer of fiction could never have dreamed up. Yes some people will deviate from the facts and point out the Soviet Stalinist terror that condemned 20 million Russians to starvation and murder, but the NAZI's still get the number one spot for innovation and (pardon the pun,) execution. Industrialized death by people who gave you the Mercedes Benz, excelled in science and industry.  I have always wondered how a so-called well educated, highly cultured people could as the German's have so often been described, become accessories to histories worst crimes against humanity. The author plays back German/Austrian history, yes, Austrian, treated by the allies as a victim nation in 1945, but in truth just as bad as the German's and in many respects, worse. The history covered by this book takes us from a defeated, but not fully occupied Germany of 1918 to the very end in May 1945. This allowed the defeated German's to wallow in self pity blaming everyone, (stab in the back theory) but themselves for their predicament. One must wonder, how in the world could the German people look to an ex-Austrian, German army corporal's ravings and find any merit? Germany of the 1920's was a state in revolution. The military refusing to acknowledge that it had been defeated on the field of battle, since the army in November 1918 was allowed to retreat back into Germany in relatively good form while blaming the Versailles Treaty along with certain German politicians who in effect stabbed the loyal German army in the back thus denying the true facts relating to WW I and Germany's final defeat. A starving population, a war weary army, mutinies by the Imperial German Navy and finally civil war in the streets. All this leads up to a bunch of fanatical ex-soldiers who find themselves street fighting the very numerous and powerful German Communists for control. The German's of the late 1920's and 1930's governed by the weak and hated Wiemar Republic. As the NAZI's take control German society finds it almost acceptable to euthanize people considered mentally incapacitated and thousands are eliminated by lethal injections and gassing by combustible gas engines. Than their are the first concentration camps for political enemies, so step by step an entire nation basically becomes a homicidal machine. This book carefully examines the individual personalities of the NAZI main players and there are amazing facts to be learned which have scarcely been covered in the past. This book is a lesson in how a society becomes insanely dangerous to itself and its neighbors. If you are at all interested in this particular subject, than I highly recommend this book to help round out your knowledge of a despicable era in the history of modern man. You will never take casual political events lightly ever again.
