La disfatta

Reading too many books about Hitler threatens to plant one in the demographic of middle aged American white guys who go to Pennsylvania wargame cons in full Waffen gear, then go home to have their wives put on dirndls and spank them. I am not a part of that demographic (...though I've played more ro Leggi tutto

Mi pare che sia utile saperne un po' per collocare tutti i protagonisti al loro posto, capire bene chi sono, che ruolo hanno avuto finora, che rapporti intercorrono fra loro, cosa si aspetta Hitler da loro. Non ci sono note, quindi non ci si aspetti aiuto da quelle. Fortunatamente un po' ho letto prim Leggi tutto

I get a little nervous when a "history" book (at least, that was the section it was in) doesn't have any endnotes or footnotes. I get more than a little nervous when the explanation given by the author is essentially "lots of the accounts contradicted one another, so I didn't want to confuse you, th Leggi tutto

Anything Hitler related is captivating. Starting from his rising to power to his downfall. The book delves into the causes preceded Hitlers seizure of power, his destructive mindset and the conditions, the environment and the atmosphere in the bunker which influenced his decisions in his last days.

I thought the movie "The Downfall" was excellent, so thought this book might be also, since the movie was partly based on this book. But the book was disappointing. For one thing, I felt like I had walked into a discussion already underway, with no one explaining the things you had missed. It assume Leggi tutto

Een zeer intrigerend document over 's werelds meest bekende dictator. Ik vind het boeiend hoe men, zelfs op het einde, nog bleef vasthangen aan het charisma van Hitler ook al was deze zelf erg ziek en slecht te been op het einde van z'n dagen. SS bleef hondstrouw terwijl anderen van de Wehrmacht de o Leggi tutto

I enjoyed reading this book, however the majority of the information I knew from watching the movie Downfall. The author towards the end of the book explains several theories in which hitler escaped the bunker. I would recommend this book to anyone who was looking for an overview of the events surro Leggi tutto

I had the occasion to see the movie (Der Untergang/The Fall) before reading the book years ago. As far as I remember, the movie follows most aspects you can find in the book. Although you can find new/many details in the book, it feels like letting the reader with many uncertainties. Maybe because th Leggi tutto
