The Hitler Virus: The Insidious Legacy of Adolf Hitler

Peter Wyden

Arcade Publishing, May 6, 2002 - Biography & Autobiography - 340 pages

In spring 1945, as the Russians moved on Berlin and it became clear the Nazi cause was lost, Adolf Hitler assured his most trusted henchmen that even if he were to die, the seed of National Socialism will grow again one day [in] ... a radiant rebirth. Several times after the war, the distinguished author Peter Wyden, himself a victim of the Nazis, returned to Germany to discover, to his dismay, that Hitler's prediction was all too true. In these unsettling pages, Wyden documents the reality that the Hitler virus is still very much alive. A harrowing companion to Daniel Goldhagen's Hitler's Willing Executioners, this book is Wyden's legacy to the world.
