Unbekannte Führer

Más información sobre el libro

This book presents captions in both English and German. It delves into one of the darkest periods of modern history, driven by a persistent curiosity to understand absurd and unsettling events. Nearly seventy years later, questions remain about how an unremarkable man became a prominent historical figure amid a series of monstrous occurrences that rendered history akin to a Wagnerian tragedy. The Second World War resulted in over seventy million deaths and countless injuries, alongside the destruction of innumerable buildings and structures worldwide. However, this exploration does not focus on the violent and dramatic aspects of this man's actions. Instead, it seeks to uncover the lesser-known facets of Hitler's private life, revealing curiosities, anecdotes, and insights into his personal world. We will examine his background as a small-town Austrian-Bavarian, his peculiar tastes for embroidered cushions and Biedermeier furniture, his fondness for flowers on windowsills, and his appreciation for military marches and Strauss waltzes. This portrayal aims to present a more intimate view of Hitler, complemented by nearly a hundred lesser-known photographs, some newly colored, offering a fresh perspective on his life.
