[ALBERT SPEER] SCHMIDT Matthias  
Albert Speer, the End of a Myth

Translated by Joachim Neugroschel.
Schmidt argues that the bulk of the post war writing on Speer and his role in the Third Reich are based on Speer's own self portrayal of himself through his biography and interviews with the post war researchers.
He claims that either through design or self-deception, Speer has created an image of himself that, through hindsight has glossed over his active and willing participation in activities which, even though he has admitted his culpability for, he is still denying he pro-actively pursued.

[ADOLF HITLER] EBERLE Henrik and Matthias UHL 
The Hitler Book
The Secret Report by His Two Closest Aides.

On breaking open the Berlin Bunker on 2 May 1945, Soviet troops captured two of Adolf Hitler's closest associates: his personal valet, Heinz Linge, and his SS adjutant, Otto Guensche. The two men had just disposed of the bodies of Hitler and Eva Braun. On Stalin's orders they were questioned for two years, to produce this astonishing fly-on-the wall account of all they saw in Hitler's headquarters, where they had worked since 1933. It has been held in top-level Russian archives since 1949. The book contains remarkable insight into Hitler's daily life before and during the Second World War. Chilling, revealing and compellingly readable, it is one of the most authentic sources of information in existence on the history of the Third Reich, unique in the circumstances of its compilation and its closeness in time to the events described.
