Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: As the main interpreter for Adolf Hitler during the key prewar moments, such as the Munich Agreement, the British Declaration of War and the surrender of France, Paul-Otto Schmidt was well placed to record his impressions of events from 1935 up to 1945.
He was an interpreter working in the German foreign ministry where he served from 1923 to 1945, and being fluent in English and French he gained respect and was Hitlerâs usual first choice for the important meetings. During the war years he served as Hitler's interpreter during his meetings with Marshal Philippe Pétain and Francisco Franco.
After the 1942 Dieppe Raid resulted in thousands of Canadian soldiers captured, Schmidt was in charge of their interrogations. Schmidtâs book is helpful in gaining an insight into the minutiae of Third Reich thinking and planningâas much as planning went beyond Hitlerâs will. One classic nugget is from the early morning of 3 September 1939 when Britain issued its ultimatum to Germany, for it was Schmidt who had to hand the translation to Hitler: âAfter an interval which seemed an age, he turned to Ribbentrop, who had remained standing by the window. âWhat now?â asked Hitler with a savage look, as though implying that his Foreign Minister had misled him about Englandâs probable reaction.â
