This book sounded fascinating to me because while I've read fiction books about high ranking Nazi children, I'd never read nonfiction about it. I was very eager to learn more. However, I quickly realized why there aren't more books like this. There just isn't much information.

There are eight chapters (one per child) in 200 pages (I'm not including the introduction, conclusion, or bibliography) which comes out to just 25 pages per child. That's not a lot of time to discuss their lives. And within those 25 pages, you also get a summary of their father's life and what he did during the war. There's barely any time actually focused on the children and what it was like for them.

And also, that information just doesn't exist. A lot of the children went on to live private lives, not talking about their fathers publicly for obvious reasons. A lot of them avoided the media. It's just hard to compile a book like this when there isn't available information and only one of the children was willing and available to speak to the author.

I feel like you probably could have googled these men and read the personal life section of their wikipedia page to get basically the same information. I did enjoy some of the information I learned, but their honestly wasn't enough of it to warrant a book in my opinion.

I found it really disappointing. I couldn't recommend this.
