Until the Final Hour: Hitler's Last Secretary by Traudl Junge
4.0
Reading about the human side of great men like Washington and Lincoln tends to add to their greatness. So it stands to reason that the opposite is true of Hitler, and this book proves that point.
Junge does not in any way glamorize, elevate or excuse Hitler, but she does portray the day to day human that was her boss. Knowing that he was a man who cared about and loved his dog and treated his personal staff kindly, not just the drooling, raving lunatic we all know and hate,somehow makes him all the more monstrous.
