Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

x, [2], 274, [2] pages. Footnotes. Illustrations. Maps. Appendix: Interview with General Heusinger. Glossary of German Military Terms. Sources. Bibliography. Index. The dust jacket has wear, tears, soiling and chips. This work was first published in France in 1981 as Hitler est-il Mort? Pierre Galante was a French journalist and writer, born on November 22, 1909, in Nice and died on September 20, 1998, in Neuilly-sur-Seine. Pierre Galante worked as a journalist for several newspapers and magazines: L'Époque, Le Jour, L'Écho de Paris, L'Espoir de Nice, and L'Intransigeant. He was also secretary general at Paris Match. He is the author of around ten books, sometimes written in collaboration, featuring portraits of personalities and contemporary history documents. On April 2, 1955, he married American actress Olivia de Havilland, with whom he had a daughter, Gisèle, born in 1956. The couple divorced in 1979. The bomb that exploded in the "Wolf's Lair"Hitler's command headquarterson July 20th, 1944 was the closest any assassination attempt ever came to ridding the world of the Nazis' Führer. Derived from a Kirkus review: Pierre Galante's account of the years that led up to the attempt, and its grim aftermath, offers an illuminating look at how dissent among the German officer corps grew until something had to be done. The new information from General Adolf Hensinger, Chief of Operations at German Army Headquarters at the fateful time is presented here, perhaps for the first time. General Adolf Heusinger, who met with Hitler on hundreds of occasions, provides his personal accounts of the disintegrating obedience of the German commanders as the war turned against them. Their plan to kill Hitler, establish a provisional government, and negotiate with the Allies for peaceknown as Operation Valkyrieis described here in depth. Galante and Silianoff begin with the actual events of July 20, then flash back to Hitler's rise and the development of military resistance to him in the 1930s--when attempts were made to stiffen Western resistance so that the army could depose him. As the pieces of the plot come together, we learn about each of the principals--von Stauffenberg, Goerdler, von Witzleben--and such others as Rommel and Kluge. Finally, the events of July 20 are recounted in full--with notes on the fate of virtually all the conspirators. The focus is almost entirely on the military aspects of the conspiracy. Little is said about the plotters' intentions had they succeeded--about the composition, specifically, of their proposed post-Hitler "peace" government. As an account of the plotters' conduct--complete to word-for-word conversations--this will be of interest to last-days-of-Hitler addicts. First U.S. Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].…
