The Nation
"Mr. Dulles tells some thrilling stories in Germany's Underground.It is a book of facts, but of facts far more strange and exciting than the fictions invented by writers of mystery stories."
Product Description
This classic account of the German Resistance during World War II remains one of the primary sources on a topic that continues to generate controversy more than a half century after the war’s end. As OSS (office of strategic services) chief of station in Bern, Switzerland, from 1942 to 1945, Dulles was charged with determining the extent and commitment of the opposition to Hitler. Germany’s Underground is the most important firsthand account we have of Allied contact with that opposition—and the most concise and readable history of the men and women from every stratum of German society who made up this complex web.
Reader Reviews
As an important American figure on the outside of Germany working in Switzerland, Dulles might have given us information not found elsewhere. Instead, he merely provides sketches of the important conspirators, gives some background, explains their part in the plot to kill Hitler or coax the West to support an overthrow of the Nazis, and explains that the conspirators either escaped the ensuing manhunts after July 20, 1944, or that they were tortured and executed. He provides a short description of how the Church was reduced to passive resistance, how the Germans might have chosen the East for salvation rather than the West, and how even Himmler and Goring aspired to step into the Fuhrer's shoes. The book is a mere skeleton of information found in greater detail in other books, especially Hans Gisevius "To the Bitter End." If you need your books brief and to read like outlines, this will serve. If you would prefer to read something like an insider's account, try Gisevius.
