Adolf was simply a great guy for us. Decades after the time in the illegal Hitler Youth, Werner Dreher remembers his idol from that time as a political buddy. We admired what he had built in Germany. Many saw it this way too. Adolf Hitler is dead, yet his shadow looms over us and seems to grow longer with each passing year. For it is more than a ghost from the past that keeps re-emerging here. Why did so many people become National Socialists? Martin Haidinger sheds light on Hitler's problematic relationship with his compatriots. Witnesses bring forth new facts and show how vast the gray area between support and rejection was. This book presents Hitler and the Austrians from a factual perspective.
