Riassunto

Lieutenant General Hans Baur, Adolf Hitler's chief personal pilot, tells his story in a gripping first person account of his experiences and observations during the eleven years he spent with Adolf Hitler when he was Fuhrer of the German Third Reich. Written in a non-political style that commands the reader's attention from cover to cover, it is a must read for those who seek to know what really went on in Hitler's Headquarters and inner circle; for Hans Baur was there. This is a first person account with many interesting details by one of the very few members of "inner circle" to survive the final days in Hitler's Berlin Bunker.

Recensione:

As a pilot myself I am quite interested in biographies about famous pilots. Undoubtedly, Baur was one of the world's most famous because of his association with Hitler. As with all biographies by famous Germans from that period their recollections were always coloured by their association with a system which is vilified as is no other in history. It is hardly surprising that there are gaps in his story. For many of these people the memories were so painful they just wanted to forget them. Despite this the book is a great addition to aviation history. Germany's part in the development of civil aviation in Europe is often overlooked or underrated. Baur does much to dispel this image. This was a very challenging time to fly. Communications and navigation were very primitive in comparison to today. A pilot had to be very skilled and the fatality rate was much higher than in present times. Baur was quite close to Hitler and gives another perspective to the man the world loves to hate. Although brief, the description of his experience in Berlin at the end is riveting. An admirable man who did his best to the end. --Bryan Odriscoll

This book is a MUST read for everyone who seek the truth based upon indisputable FACTS! Hans Bauer lived the most important historical time in recent history. He gives critical insights of men who shaped where we are today. He reveals clearly what has been suggested for decades the Hitler had NO intentions towards western Europe, but rather was totally focused on Stalin and the vast lands of Russia. Only when Churchill declared war did he have to hastily change his plans. One must remember though that when Russia invaded Poland 2 weeks after Germany the Churchill DID NOT declare war on Russia!! That important FACT is never discussed by "learned people" because the truth be that it was England and their aggresiveness that really started WWII. This book is revealing in so many ways, not just politically, but for aviation enthusiasts it is a must read for history of aviation. --Thomas D. Venander

Hans Baur was Hitler's pilot from 1932 until his death in 1945. He had unique personal access to Hitler and spent many hours in his presence. Unfortunately, Baur is not a particularly gifted storyteller and his personal characterizations of Hitler and other leading Nazi figures leaves something to be desired. Baur's memory is also highly suspect, as his years in Russian captivity proved conclusively. Baur continually changed his story, mis-remembered salient points in history and just plain forgot the gist of many historical moments. Still, the memoirs are are interesting read. Baur gives his reflections and opinions on such diverse people in Hitler's entourage as Eva Braun, Goebbels, Himmler, Goering and Hess. He narrates the story of when he begs Hitler to flee Berlin in April, 1945 and allow Baur to fly him to safety. Hitler says wearily, "I will die here in Berlin." Unfortunately, Baur doesn't tell much about losing his leg and spending 11 torturous years in Russian captivity. Now that would have been fascinating! Another missed opportunity, but there's enough interesting material elsewhere to justify the purchase of his recollections. --Candace Scott

L'autore:

Hans Baur was Hitler's personal pilot and close confidant from his rise to power, until the final days in the bunker, and was one of the very few to survive to be able to tell their story.
