Story
In the chaos following World War II, the US government faced many difficult decisions, including what to do with the Third Reich's scientific minds. These were the brains behind the Nazis' once-indomitable war machine. So began Operation Paperclip, a decades-long, covert project to bring Hitler's scientists and their families to the United States. Many of these men were accused of war crimes, and others had stood trial at Nuremberg; one was convicted of mass murder and slavery.

On April 30, 1945, in a bunker deep beneath the Old Reich Chancellery, Adolf Hitler and his newly wedded wife, Eva Braun, killed themselves. But Nazi Germany lived on, however briefly. The subsequent eight days were among the most turbulent in history, witnessing not only the final battles of World War II and the collapse of the Wehrmacht, but the near-total disintegration of the once-mighty Third Reich.

World War II endures in the popular imagination as a heroic struggle between good and evil, with villainous Hitler driving its events. But Hitler was not in power when the conflict erupted in Asia. His armies did not fight in multiple theaters, his empire did not span the Eurasian continent, and he did not inherit any of the spoils of war. That central role belonged to Joseph Stalin. Drawing on ambitious new research in Soviet, European, and US archives, Stalin’s War revolutionizes our understanding of this global conflict by moving its epicenter to the east.

Born and raised in Milwaukee, Mildred Harnack was twenty-six when she enrolled in a PhD program in Germany and witnessed the meteoric rise of the Nazi party. In 1932, she began holding secret meetings in her apartment—a small band of political activists that by 1940 had grown into the largest underground resistance group in Berlin. She recruited working-class Germans into the resistance, helped Jews escape, plotted acts of sabotage, and collaborated in writing leaflets that denounced Hitler and called for revolution.

April 25, 1986 in Chernobyl was a turning point in world history. The disaster not only changed the world’s perception of nuclear power and the science that spawned it, but also our understanding of the planet’s delicate ecology. With the images of the abandoned homes and playgrounds beyond the barbed wire of the 30-kilometer Exclusion Zone, the rusting graveyards of contaminated trucks and helicopters, the farmland lashed with black rain, the event fixed for all time the notion of radiation as an invisible killer.

Publisher's Summary
He's the worst Nazi war criminal you've never heard of
Sidekick to SS Chief Heinrich Himmler and supervisor of Nazi rocket scientist Wernher von Braun, General Hans Kammler was responsible for the construction of Hitler's slave labor sites and concentration camps. He personally altered the design of Auschwitz to increase crowding, ensuring that epidemic diseases would complement the work of the gas chambers.
Why has the world forgotten this monster? Kammler was declared dead after the war. But the aide who testified to Kammler's supposed "suicide" never produced the general's dog tags or any other proof of death.
Dean Reuter, Colm Lowery, and Keith Chester have spent decades on the trail of the elusive Kammler, uncovering documents unseen since the 1940s and visiting the purported site of Kammler's death, now in the Czech Republic.
Their astonishing discovery: US government documents prove that Hans Kammler was in American custody for months after the war - well after his officially declared suicide.
And what happened to him after that? Kammler was kept out of public view, never indicted or tried, but to what end? Did he cooperate with Nuremberg prosecutors investigating Nazi war crimes? Was he protected so the United States could benefit from his intimate knowledge of the Nazi rocket program and Germany's secret weapons?
The Hidden Nazi is true history more harrowing - and shocking - than the most thrilling fiction.

If you want to learn how the author wrote the book this is for you!
The author of this book takes entirely too much time telling you about the process of writing this book. I wanted to learn about the subject of the book. I have no interest in learning about the types of dogs his friends have and places the authors friends live in. The author repeats himself often in strays from the subject far too much for this to be an interesting book.

written by historical amateur's
this book is utterly ridiculous. I think the best way to describe it is by putting it in the same category as those so-called "historians" whom claim that Hitler escaped his Berlin bunker. Even worse, the "evidence" the author uses to prove his points can easily be debunked by the average WW2 enthusiast I advise you not waste your time with this book.

Written by Lieutenant Columbo?
This title may have some facts and insights unknown until its publication. Unfortunately, the author writes way too much about himself and his research. (There are multiple authors listed. For purposes of this review, the singular will be used.)
How many times must the author tell the reader while he was interviewing the old man that he said, "Just one more question"? I fully expected Columbo to jump out of the closet to say, "Just one more thing, sir."
The book is about half "Hidden Nazi" and about half the author's pursuit and feelings about what was learned.
This title could be saved. It needs a good editor, and some judicious pruning.
1) Remove the references to self. Besides being distracting and annoying, it is egotistical. Does the author believe he is the only person who is shocked upon hearing a retelling of an SS Officer shooting a toddler?
2) Edit what is left. Eliminate the repetition of uninformative jargon; "the wife looked, the wife moved, the wife seemed."
3) Organize the book in chronological order of the subject. If a scholarly presentation is desired, add footnotes to reference where and how a particular fact was obtained.
4) A Forward or Afterword may be included to explain how the author found his facts, but keep it out of the main story. If a movie star has brilliant white teeth in a movie, no one wants to know what brand of toothpaste she uses.
I hope this title gets updated.

Why would America let evil personified walk away?
This book grips the listener at three levels. One, three friends solving a 70-year old historical mystery – in the buddy cop tradition. Two, solving the mystery itself. A mystery where the clues come not in mysterious bloodstains or conveniently dropped matchboxes, but from meticulous review of reams of paper that the government neglected to destroy, redact, or withhold. And three, their quarry. A hideously cruel sadistic man who is the administrative counterpart of Werner Van Braun.
As someone who has read World War II books since 1985, this book had me sitting in the car after I got home, ears flapping to find out what happened next.
The book is a series of unforgettable vignettes:
• Will the Nazi’s ill son see the author?
• A fatherly Holocaust survivor who can describe unspeakable horror matter of factly;
• A loaf of bread tossed into the snow to see if a starving man would go for it, and murdering him if he does;
• Comparing dry sounding memoranda from US Army intelligence that give the listener the chilling realization that they had their man and let him vanish – but why?
• An unexpected package from the FBI;
• What did the Nazi have that was so valuable? Why hide him even from British allies?
• Walking to the spot where the Nazi reportedly shot himself.
This book is the final rebuttal to those who think that there is little remaining to be learnt about World War II aside from crank theories. The prevailing version of history is correct, but it has barely begun to scratch the surface. Nazi Germany was an intricate machine. And this book shows that we’ve just started to grapple with its most complex parts.
Here’s to the next book in the same vein.

Incredible US Intel collaboration with Nazis
Though focusing on Kemmler, this tells unbelievable, but true, story of how segments of the US bureaucracy of the time, subverted our own values and laws, to gain knowledge and expertise from Nazi war criminals.
The facts of what the Nazi killers are difficult to hear, hard to digest, and impossible to understand, even though already well-known to me.
But the facts alone don't make for 5-star reading. While well-done. the organization, composition, and telling of the history comes across as disorganized & less than the compelling and riveting read it could be. If the facts were novelized or written into a Hollywood movie script, it could, in fact, be among the most exciting of tales. As it stands. it reads more like a dry college history textbook. Still well worth getting through, however.

We didn't need the Nazis to build the A-bomb
Interesting but again...it never happened, that the Nazis were able to build the bomb. Many experts say the Nazis weren't that close. Van Braun isn't to blame except for being brilliant and ambitious. He didn't use slave labor here, and if our Govt didn't care then help me understand why I should. After all, we were pretty good at killing anyone who got in our way, how sadistic and cruel is that?

The narration was awful!
The content of this book is interesting and horrific but the narration spoiled it for me. Several times I almost gave up on it.
The pronunciation of the German names and words was appalling and one of the co-authors name was constantly mispronounced as Column not Colm.
I would suggest you read the printed book if you are interested in it.

Its "a" typical US "lets surmise" about history. To the point its so jumbled up that I have absolutely no doubt that this is how so many US citizens believe history is. Its a terrible book. Yes, lots of research but the authors are "wanting" the story true. I listened until the end credits when i just lost the will to listen any further. As a story... Its fine. As a history?

Not so good
Poorly read and written. Sounds like a Clive Cussler novel. Whilst the story is interesting, we don't need to know all about the author's feelings. The story has been passed out with a lot of unnecessary filler. Stick to the facts, they are the most interesting part. The narrator's style is not suited to a book of this sort.

Not a history
Nor is it an adventure story of discovery and exploration but through the use of weasel words such as might have, could have, may, to describe suppositions quickly progresses into enshrining these into facts.
The frequently used ‘allies’ wants and desires is clearly not defined or qualified. I don’t believe Saudi Arabia or Canada or Australia or New Zealand were in any way considered when discussing ‘the allies’ - it was always obvious that Russia despite doing more and suffering more to defeat the Nazis wasn’t considered one of the allies despite all the evidence and contemporary evidence to the contrary.
The authors have chosen to be morally outraged by the Nazis and rightly so but have decided to not question the immorality of the US in helping and using Nazis- sometimes glossed over as allies although it doesn’t mention any other of the allies doing anything similar except the Russians whom they have chosen not to be allies.
I took particular exception to barging into the sick room of a man in his 70’s to question him about a father that he barely knew. This might have been more acceptable if he had done the same to the children and grandchildren of the Americans who knowingly and willingly protected, paid and provided cover for these Nazis- why were they not subjected to similar vile behaviour.
Intermingled with the narrative is the tiresome details of how the principal(although unprincipled) writer was doing all the time and what he was thinking and imagining, the weather conditions, his commute etc
The conclusion is that the Americans (although not all of them) were as immoral or amoral as the Russians if not more so but that is never stated nor is any discussion of the morality about whether the shielding and protecting of war criminals is as great or lesser crime than the people who oversaw the crimes.

Exceptional story about the cover up by the USA
About how the USA helped Nazis escape war trials and still refuses to reveal any information of the cover up.

Very speculative
The story is interesting enough, but the speculative elements makes it hard to take seriously. The verified facts are interesting enough on their own, it's sad they went in to borderline conspiracy theory territory.

Somewhat Interesting
This is an ok listen. The Nazi story is always interesting. However the missing Nazi seemed ultimately to be missing the central guy. They never did know where he went! After 1946 the trail went cold.
I was not convinced by the diversion onto a Nazi Nuclear Bomb. I thought it a diversion and implausible.

Tantalising, fascinating, frustrating
The book is a well-informed and well-researched plunge into an exceedingly dark chapter of history. Many already are aware of the complicity of the US Government in aiding and abetting wanted Nazi criminals at the war's end, this book however has surprises in store even for those already well informed. While the narrative does get lost in the weeds for a chapter or two, the depth of research is worth persevering for, and the narrative performance is excellent.

just when you thought...
lots of facts a sniff of fiction and a whole lot of joining up the dot's, a disturbing reminder of how ever evil you are people will over look this if you have something they want , and the Americans wanted everything the nazis had and were ahead of them in Science and weaponry the price in evil meant nothing .

Informative
Found his very informative as to people who played a big part in this period of time. How they looked after themselves and got away with their crimes. Plus how they have helped change science and technology today. I did enjoy.

Very interesting
A new and and very thought provoking insight into one of Germany's worst and mostly unheard of Nazis. This book has tied up alot of loose ends as to events that happened around the end of WW2 that up until now have been well examined but poorly explained. I read alot of books about WW2 and very rarely learn or hear something new, That is not the case with this one. clearly alot of research has gone into this and it is well worth the listen.

Not the best
The Author gives off the perception through his writing of being an over enthusiastic World War Two follower. His comments made throughout the book loose the readers trust in his work as an historical piece and make one feel as though he entered this project with some well entrenched views. Comments such as ‘wanting to get out of the interview alive’ when talking to an old man on his sick bed whose father was a NAZI criminal that the son barely knew.
Shows an unwelcome level of added emotion and drama in an historical text.
Stating that the son saying that his father visited him seemed out of place as ‘a father lives with a family and does not simply visit them’ again adds an unneeded perspective from the author. My father was in the military and when deployed for a year he ‘visited’ the family twice.
I having read a number of historical books and I had a hard time with this one. I didn’t find it to be overly enjoyable as the trust in the Author was lost at the beginning. Although this style may be suited to some and I encourage people to try it first as it does provide a different insight.

This book is a meticulous reconstruction of a tragic episode in the history of the Nazi persecution of the Jews. The SS. St. Louis left Hamburg in May of 1939 with 937 Jewish refugees on board who thought they had bought visas to enter Cuba. Refused entry in Cuba and the United States the ship eventually had to turn around and return to Europe. The voyage to freedom was in the end nothing more than a roundabout journey to the concentration camps.

Wendy Lower's stunning account of the role of German women on the Eastern Front - not only as plunderers and direct witnesses, but as actual killers - powerfully revises history. Many young nurses, teachers, secretaries, and wives saw the emerging Nazi empire as a kind of "Wild East" of opportunity, yet they could not have imagined what they would do there. Hitler's Furies will challenge our deepest beliefs using evidence hidden for seventy years: Women can be just as brutal as men.

Story
Quickly becoming a cornerstone of Holocaust historiography, this is a devastatingly stark memoir from one of the lone survivors of Treblinka. Why do some live while so many others perish? Tiny children, old men, beautiful girls - in the gas chambers of Treblinka, all are equal. The Nazis kept the fires of Treblinka burning night and day, a central cog in the wheel of the Final Solution.

Story
A tale that redefines the ordinary soldier in the Second World War, The Deserters is a breathtaking work of historical reportage, weaving together the lives of forgotten servicemen even as it overturns the assumptions and prejudices of an era. The Deserters reveals that ordinary soldiers viewed "desertion" as a natural part of conflict, as unexpected and inexplicable as bravery. The Deserters moves beyond the false extremes of courage and cowardice to reveal the true experience of the Allied soldier.

Story
In 1945, after his capture at the end of the Second World War, Hermann Göring arrived at an American-run detention center in war-torn Luxembourg, accompanied by 16 suitcases and a red hatbox. The suitcases contained all manner of paraphernalia: medals, gems, two cigar cutters, silk underwear, a hot water bottle, and the equivalent of $100,000,000 in cash. Hidden in a coffee can, a set of brass vials housed glass capsules containing a clear liquid and a white precipitate: potassium cyanide. Joining Göring in the detention center were the elite of the captured Nazi regime....

Story
When discussing the German war crimes of the Second World War, modern histories have focused on the Holocaust. While the Final Solution was a unique and unparalleled horror, German atrocities did not end there. The Nazis terrorized their own citizens, tortured and murdered POWs, and carried out countless executions throughout occupied Europe. Lord Russell of Liverpool was part of the legal team that brought Nazi war criminals to justice, and from this first-hand position, he published the best-selling The Scourge of the Swastika in 1954. Liverpool shows that the actions of the Third Reich, were illegal, not merely immoral.
