The book gives vital information about hitler's surrounders - By: , 25 Feb 2002
The memoirs of FM Wilhelm Keitel were written very well, although one would expect a collection of hasty entries due to the situation they where written in. Keitel wrote them during the Nuremberg trials, where he was condemed to death by hanging.
The memoirs describe the period of Keitel's association with Hitler, up to 1943. At that point in the trial he interrupted his writings because he was sentenced to death, & decided to spend his last days with his family.
They show Keitel as a man faithful to Hitler, but not always in agreement with him, & also give vital information on the controversial trial, & disgrace of Fritz, the army commander.
Although the memoirs do not describe Hitler as much as they could, I find them to be a vital source for anyone studying the German High Command of 1938-43.- Gleb Iatsenia
