World War II is one my of my favorite historical topics, but I think this would be a difficult book for someone unfamiliar with general knowledge about the Nazi party and various parts. The author spent little time with backstory and the reader needed to be somewhat familiar with names, conflicts, etc. But, this allowed for a more in depth exploration about the "in's and out's" of the Gestapo, which I appreciated. ( ) A good book on the organisation of the GESTAPO, it includes details that I hadn't seen or known of before. It also gives a very clear outline of the birth and early years, which many books gloss over. It is important to know that the Author was French so the book was originally in French and then translated. Unfortunately there are parts were you can tell, but overall that isn't a problem. The story of the GESTAPO in France is very well told but for the rest of Europe it's more an implied story. You find out the major personalities within the GESTAPO, particularly those in France. For a man who was imprisoned by the GESTAPO it is very evenhanded. If your interested in the subject, read this book. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

From 1933 to 1945, the Gestapo was Nazi Germany's chief instrument of counter-espionage, political suppression, and terror. Jacques Delarue, a saboteur arrested by the Nazis in occupied France, chronicles how the land of Beethoven elevated sadism to a fine art. The Gestapo: A History of Horror draws upon Delarue's interviews with ex-Gestapo agents to deliver a multi-layered history of the force whose work included killing student resisters, establishing Aryan eugenic unions, and implementing the Final Solution. This is a probing look at the Gestapo and the fanatics and megalomaniacs who made it such a successful and heinous organization--Barbie, Eichmann, Himmler, Heydrich, Müller. The Gestapo's notorious reign led to the murder of millions. The Gestapo is an important documentation of what they did and how they did it. Ingen biblioteksbeskrivelser fundet. |
