The Meaning of Hitler
The Meaning of Hitler (German: Anmerkungen zu Hitler) is a 1978 book by the journalist and writer Raimund Pretzel, who published all his books under the pseudonym Sebastian Haffner.
The 176-page book analyzes the life and work of Adolf Hitler in a rational, neutral manner and is divided into seven chapters that each treats a different aspect of the man:
- Life
- Achievements
- Successes
- Errors
- Mistakes
- Crimes
- Betrayal
The essay-like book contrasts with the detailed, well-referenced, chronological biographies of Hitler by Joachim Fest and Ian Kershaw.
