He Was My Chief: The Memoirs of Adolf Hitler's Secretary by Roger Moorhouse, Christa Schroeder
4.0
dark informative reflective tense medium-paced

 Christa Schroeder gives her personal account of life during the Nazi era, and as a personal secretary for Adolf Hitler. She gives some really neat insights into his actions and behaviors, as well as the other leading figures who frequently met with him. She claims that she knew nothing about what was going on with the Jewish and other populations that Hitler wanted to be rid of, but I find that really hard to believe, especially since she was taking dictations and writing letters and stuff. This was a really interesting read.
