As secretary to the Fuhrer throughout the time of the Third Reich Christa Schroeder was perfectly placed to observe the actions & behaviour of Hitler along with the most important figures surrounding him. Schroeders memoir does not fail to deliver fascinating insights: she notes his bourgeois manners his vehement abstemiousness & his mood swings. Indeed she was ostracised by Hitler for a number of months after she made the mistake of publicly contradicting him once too often. In addition to her portrayal of Hitler there are illuminating anecdotes about Hitlers closest colleagues. She recalls for instance that the relationship between Martin Bormann & his brother Albert (who was on Hitlers personal staff) was so bad that the two would only communicate with one another via their respective adjutants
- even if they were in the same room. There is also light shed on the peculiar personal life & insanity of Reichsminister Walther Darre. Schroeder claims to have known nothing of the horrors of the Nazi regime. There is nothing of the sense of perspective or the mea culpa that one finds in the memoirs of Hitlers other secretary Traudl Junge
- who concluded we should have known. Rather the tone that pervades Schroeders memoir is one of bitterness. This is without any doubt one of the most important primary sources from the pre-war & wartime period.
