Description
Hitler's Table Talk consists of notes of the German leader’s casual lunch and dinnertime conversations with his close friends and colleagues.
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 which included ranged from art, reminiscences of his childhood years, his true thoughts in religion, nature, science, technology and a host other topics which reveal his astonishingly wide general knowledge.
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.
The main recurring themes of the manuscript, can however be
1. Caustic comments on his prime enemies, the Russians; Americans, the English and of course, Jews;
2. His plans for Germany and the occupied territories after a German victory in the conflict; and
3. A pronounced dislike of Christianity and that religion’s influence in Germany and elsewhere.
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 a controversy outlined above—including how Hitler ultimately changed his views on Russians in particular—and is fully indexed.
This is an indispensable aid for anybody wishing to gain a full, uncensored, insight into one of the most traumatic episodes of European history.
