 This is the memoir of Erich Kempka, featuring moments from before and during the war. He was on Hitler's staff before the formal declaration of war, and drove him all over Europe. He was witness to the relationship between Eva Braun and their marriage, as well as the relationships between all the leading Nazis of the time. He was present for the suicide of Hitler and Braun, and helped to douse the bodies with fuel to burn them. He was also a witness at the Nuremberg trials. This was a very interesting book, and I think that memoirs from former Nazis and other Germans are so important. The perspective is so important.
