Living with Hitler: accounts of Hitlers household staff: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Living with Hitler: accounts of Hitlers household staff" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This collection paints a picture of Hitler from members of his household in the unique position of being seemingly ever-present, yet totally unconnected to events. The reader is introduced to Hitlers Bodyguard Karl Krause (1934-39), his house administrator Herbert Dohring (1935-43) and chambermaid Anna Plaim (1941-43). From these accounts we get a deeper sense of Hitler in close proximity. These accounts massively add to our understanding of Hitler as a three dimensional character, especially from subjects like Plaim who only knew Hitlers home life, having rarely left Berghof. The series is able to shed light on his likes and dislikes from foods to his hobbies, creating a strange sense of humanity. This collection also provides the reader with fresh anecdotes, observations and portraits of Hitlers entourage and relatives. Plaims images of Eva Braun come from finding torn fragments in the bin, whilst Dohring sheds light on Martin Bormanns demeanour.
