The topic of Hitler at the Obersalzberg is one that comes up over and over again, but until this book, very little was written. The author and former Waffen-SS military commander, provides a rare first hand account from 1943 to the end of the war, with a focus on the intrigues of the "grey eminence" Martin Bormann and his hatred against Hermann Goring; the successor designate of Adolf Hitler. The dramatic events on the Obersalzberg during the final day's of the war provide the climax for a fascinating period in the history of the Third German Reich. In spite of many publications on the subject of Hitler, present as well as future historians cannot ignore first person accounts of those who were actually there, describing their own adventures.

Adolf Hitler owed his success to his remarkable ability to capture the hearts of the German people. That ability was largely due to his skill at creating a public persona, not only as a man of determination and effectiveness, but as a visionary and prophet. To develop the latter image he associated himself with the Bavarian Alps, where his retreat in Obersalzberg became almost a magical cave from which he was able, with a wave of his wand, to manipulate public opinion. This work examines the political events that took place in Obersalzberg from the 1920s until the U.S. Army returned control of the area to the German government in 1995. Concentrating primarily on the years during which Hitler was in residence, it discusses the geography, history and climate of Berchtesgaden (a town located in the Bavarian Alps and home to Obersalzberg) as well as Hitler's original acquaintance with the area. In a wider scope, however, the work focuses on the symbolism of identity and public perception as it relates to the place, setting and lifestyle of political figures. Such symbolism was especially important for Hitler as he deliberately and ruthlessly perfected his public image in his quest for control of the German government. The closing chapter follows Berchtesgaden through its military occupation after the Nazi defeat in 1945.
