| | Amazon.com: 1933: Books: Philip Metcalfe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | Using letters, diaries and memoirs, Metcalfe distills the personalities, viewpoints and day-to-day reactions of five alert and often directly involved witnesses to Hitler's consolidation of power. |
 | | They are: U.S. ambassador to Germany, William Dodd and his high-spirited daughter Martha; Bella Fromm, a glamorous German society columnist who was Jewish and made no secret ot it; Ernst Hanfstaengl, Hitler's somewhat buffoonish foreign-press chief; and Rudolf Diels, the first head of the Gestapo. |
 | | Also the arrogant Harvard-educated German Putzi Hanfstaengel, who plays an ever dimishing role in the Nazi regime, the policeman Rudolf Diels and the Jewish society columnist Bella Fromm have their chapters. |
