Hitler's Table Talk

Hitler's Table Talk

<p>Hitler’s Table Talk consists of notes of the German leader’s casual lunch and dinnertime conversations with his close friends and colleagues.</p> <p>Copied down by adjutants and edited for accuracy by his private secretary Martin Bormann, these discussions reveal Hitler’s wartime thoughts on his enemies, friends, and a variety of topics including art, science, history, religion, nature, Europeans, non-Europeans and a vast number of other topics which reveal his astonishingly wide general knowledge. </p> <p>The topics under discussion varied greatly, as the reader will discover. Hitler’s remarkable general knowledge serves as a testament to his self-education, and his ability to talk with authority on almost any topic was remarked upon by many observers.</p> <p>The main recurring themes of the manuscript, can however be pinpointed:</p> <p>1. Caustic comments on his prime enemies, the Russians; Americans, the English and of course, Jews;</p> <p>2. His plans for Germany and the occupied territories after a German victory in the conflict; and </p> <p>3. A pronounced dislike of Christianity and that religion’s influence in Germany and elsewhere.</p> <p>This is an indispensable aid for anybody wishing to gain a full, uncensored, insight into one of the most traumatic episodes of European history.</p> <p>This completely reformatted edition contains a brand new introduction which provides a history of the manuscript and an important discussion of its main themes and controversies outlined above—including how Hitler ultimately changed his views on Russians in particular. </p> <p>It is also fully indexed.</p>
