Yo quemé a Hitler av Erich Kempka
Erich Kempka fue el chofer personal de Hitler, labor que realizó entre 1934 y 1945. Estaba presente en la zona de la Cancillería del Reich el 30 de abril de 1945, cuando Hitler se suicidó en el Führerbunker. Fue precisamente Kempka el que proporcionó la gasolina para la cremación de Hitler y Eva Braun en los jardines de la cancillería. Era el miembro de las SS número 2.803
El relato de primera fuente del círculo íntimo de Hitler. Lamenta que su jefe haya tenido tan mal ojo para rodearse de gente incompetente como Bormann o traidores como Himmler y Goering. A diferencia de Stalin, Hitler podía demostrar afecto, si se puede llamar así, por su círculo cercano. Kempka fue uno de los que recibió su afecto y relata en este breve libro lo que vió desde 1933 hasta la muerte de Hitler.
I was Hitler's Chauffeur - Erich Kempka ****
Hitler employed Kempka in 1934 as his personal chauffeur. From then until the wars end the two became very interlinked, with Kempka being at Hitler's side practically until the dictators downfall. Far from what you would expect we discover a much kinder side to the Fuhrer than we would have expected. Hitler is portrayed as a kind employer, someone who is not afraid to get personal with his staff and genuinely cares for their wellbeing.
It also dispels any myths that Hitler was not a hands on leader, as Kempka describes in detail how he used to visit the front line in order to see for himself the conditions.
As others have said the memoirs are actually only around half of the book, the other being made up of a number of appendix detailing further account of Hitler in the war.
A really interesting read and easily recommendable.… (mer)
