I APPRECIATED SVEN'S INVITATION to appear on his Aryan Insights program at Radio Aryan. We did a morning session (not my best time for talking) but I talked and talked and couldn't seem to stop! I'm afraid Sven didn't get much of a chance, but he is a complete gentleman and we have become friends from doing just this one podcast together. The result is something of an overview of both Hermann Giesler and Willi Kriessmann and I – and I don't leave out Adolf Hitler either. This is my edited version of our session. 55m.
RARE IS ANY CREDIBLE LITERATURE DEALING WITH ADOLF HITLER – the man, and his time on the stage of history. There are, of course, tons of articles and books written about that, but the key word in the lead sentence is “credible.” Anyone who has any ability to think for themselves knows that any such writing is automatically “qualified” right off the bat by letting the reader know that Adolf Hitler was the most vile, evil, megalomaniac who ever lived. And what follows that introduction is nothing but Cinderella fairy-tales that are worthless in any CREDIBLE study of the man and his era. See the message under the photo on page 128 about a false statement from a Dr. Ferdinand Sauerbruch, explained as “it was the style of the time after the war to make up wild stories about Adolf Hitler.”
Thus it is most refreshing to come across, in today’s world, a first-person account of a crucial part of Hitler’s life that is not only most informative and entertaining, but startling in many ways, and certainly emotive – at least for this historian. I am referencing a new publication titled “The Artist Within The Warlord,” subtitled “An Adolf Hitler You’ve Never Known,” by Carolyn Yeager & Wilhelm Kriessmann, Ph.D. This 245-page publication is first-class writing, amply footnoted, graced with wonderful photos, and written in an easy, flowing style that should be the envy of any author.
