Werner Maser (12 July 1922, Paradeningken - 5 April 2007) was a German historian, journalist and professor at the Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg. Maser was the first historian to claim that the Hitler Diaries were forgeries. During the Second World War he served in the German Army as an infantry officer. After Germany's defeat, Maser was interned by the Soviets in Sachsenhausen concentration camp. After his release, he studied theology, philosophy and political science at Berlin, Munich and Erlangen. His doctoral thesis was titled The Organization of the Führer Legend. Maser was appointed professor of history at the University of Munich and he was also a guest professor at universities in America, Japan and Finland. He discovered Hitler's medical records, which had been thought lost. During the late 1970s Maser claimed that Hitler had fathered a son (Jean-Marie Loret) with a French peasant dancer in 1918. He was a critic of the works of Alan Bullock and Sebastian Haffner. In his 1994 work Der Wortbruch: Hitler, Stalin und der Zweite Weltkrieg ("The Broken Agreement: Hitler, Stalin and the Second World War"), Maser argued that the Soviets were preparing to invade Germany and that Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union pre-empted the planned Soviet invasion of Germany by two weeks. The success of Werner Maser's portrait is owed to his attention to close detail. There is much in his book that is new, and his material tends to explain Hitler rather than explain him away. Above all, Maser uncovers the real facts about Hitler's self-education from the Munich days. . . . After Maser's work it will no longer be possible to dismiss Hitler's early successes as the product of fluke or demonic intuition." -JOHN CORNWELL, The Times Educational Supplement. "The main merits of Maser's account lie in his concentration on the personal details of Hitler's life, his medical record, his amatory relations, his childhood and education, his career as an artist in Vienna and Munich, his service in the Bavarian infantry in the First World War. Here he has provided what must be fairly close to a definitive version. His work must be indispensable to any future biographer."- -DONALD WATT, Spectator. "The most important document on Hitler so far published." -COLIN WILSON. In an on-line comment from an independent reviewer: A great insight into the life of Adolf Hitler as well as separating truths from myths. I was very surprised at the wealth of new information within this book. Especially in regards to Hitler's parents. In spite of it being 50+ years since it's publication (as of 2024), there has been no other publication beyond it's first in 1973. A shame to see such a valuable resource become lost to time.
