Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Every year, a small mountain village in the Austrian section of the Bohemian Forest hosts Third Reich nostalgia seekers from all over Europe. The attendees praise the soldiers’ sense of sacrifice and sometimes even argue that they were victims. #2 Gudrun Himmler, the daughter of Heinrich Himmler, was always afraid of disappointing her father. She was twelve years old when she made a visit to Dachau, the first Nazi concentration camp in Germany. She was shocked by the prisoners, and her father explained to her the properties of the different herbs. #3 Heinrich Himmler, the architect of the concentration camps and the extermination of Europe’s Jews, met Gudrun’s mother, Margarete Siegroth, a divorced nurse, in 1927. He developed an obsession with discipline and uniforms, which helped him shore up his confidence. #4 Heinrich Himmler, the husband of Marga, was a nice little man in the eyes of party leaders. However, in reality, he was a cold and calculating Great Inquisitor who could finally get the upper hand on his inferiority complexes by developing an obsession for racial purity.
