"Hitler's published speeches and his book "Mein Kampe" would, it might be thought, have given some= thing more than a clue' to the real man, but it seems. that even such Vainglorious and tish outpourings both spoken and written fall far short of disclosing the profound cal-lensness, brutality and "meanness. of the monster. controls Germany's destinies today.
"Brutality ts Respected"
The book under review is written by one who for years was on in mate terms with Hitler and records the gist and in many instances. the actual terms of conversations which took place in. the innermost. circles of Nazidom. The author took pains to make notes immediately after his formal meetings with Hitler and his henchmen, and for the most part has not had to rely upon his recol-ection extended over any lengthened period. Quotations galore could. extracted from the book which more than justify what is written above or even stronger language. The hor~ Fors of the concentration camps mei nothing to him.
