Hitler: The Man and the Military Leader2 reviews
Percy Ernst Schramm

Academy Chicago Publishers, 1999

A great leader but a very EVIL man

+ Adolf Hitler!

The book was published in 1966 and is, unfortunately, dated. There has been significant additional ...

A new work on the Holocaust leaves many questions unanswered

During the past twenty years historians have debated the circumstances in which the `Final Solution' became reality and the role of Hitler in the planning and execution of mass murder.
