This collection paints a picture of Hitler from members of his
household in the unique position of being seemingly ever-present, yet
totally unconnected to events.The reader is introduced to Hitler's
Bodyguard Karl Krause (1934-39), his house administrator Herbert
Dhring (1935-43) and chambermaid Anna Plaim (1941-43). From these
accounts we get a deeper sense of Hitler in close proximity.These
accounts massively add to our understanding of Hitler as a three
dimensional character, especially from subjects like Plaim who only
knew Hitler's home life, having rarely left Berghof.The series is able
to shed light on his likes and dislikes from foods to his hobbies,
creating a strange sense of humanity. This collection also provides
the reader with fresh anecdotes, observations and portraits of
Hitler's entourage and relatives. Plaim's images of Eva Braun come
from finding torn fragments in the bin, whilst Dhring sheds light on
Martin Bormann's demeanour.
