Description
That Hitler initiated the Final Solution is circumstantially clear, yet there has never been conclusive proof of his authorization of the extermination programme carried out against the Jews. Based on evidence from a wide range of sources, Gerald Fleming proves beyond reasonable doubt that the Final Solution was deliberately designed and personally ordered by the Fuehrer. Revealing the elaborate precautions taken to disguise the nature of the operation and to ensure that it could not be connected with Hitler, the book also shows that he demanded the programme's completion, even though Himmler stopped it in the last days of the war. This edition includes a new chapter which draws on fresh evidence recently uncovered in the former Soviet Union.
