Description
While the trial of Hitler’s fallen elite at Nuremberg has been thoroughly documented, the interval between the Nazis’ capture in May and June 1945 and the start of the actual trial in late November has until now remained shrouded in shadow. With Interrogations, acclaimed historian Richard Overy opens a new window into the Third Reich, providing an intimate glimpse of the savage dictatorship in its death throes. More than thirty transcripts of the interrogations are reproduced here for the first time, allowing us to hear the voices of the newly captured “Hitler gang”-including Göring, Speer, and Hess-as they squirmed under the Allies’ glare. Interrogations is the stark and disturbing history of defeat; it lays bare as never before the human weaknesses that made the Third Reich possible.
