Was Hitler A Dictator?: The Hitler I Knew

Friedrich Christian, Prince of Schaumberg-Lippe, was involved in the National Socialist movement from the 1920s, long before Adolf Hitler came to power. He and his wife knew Adolf Hitler personally, attended private functions with him and he served as an officer in the Sturm-Abteilung (SA). Following the legal assumption of power of Adolf Hitler as Chancellor, and then as President / Führer when the offices were merged, the Prince worked within the Propaganda Ministry of Dr. Joseph Goebbels; and was thus privy to much high level communications within the government of the Third Reich. As the good Prince notes, this speech was given in the interest of speaking the truth of Germany and the Third Reich as he knew it and of its Führer, Adolf Hitler, who has been so blackened and defamed by the enemies of God and man in the aftermath of a war which Germany did not want that the man is unrecognizable. The Prince speaks of first hand history as he witnessed it, not some concocted pseudo-history created during the war, or later for political or other purposes. It provides knowledge that anyone interested in real history should add to their study and knowledge of the era.
