The Labyrinth

A chilling memoir by the head of Hitlers Foreign Intelligence Servicethe only SS-man to describe the inner workings of the Nazi bureaucracy.. This unique account of Hitlers corrupt regime illuminates more vividly than any other the deepening atmosphere of terror and unreality in which the Nazi leadership lived as the war progressed. Schellenberg recounts with firsthand knowledge the motivations and machinations surrounding the Nazi Armys every move in Poland, Austria, and Russia. But this remarkable inside account is perhaps most memorable for its riveting portraits of Reinhard Heydrich, Heinrich Himmler, Heinrich Mueller, Ernst Kaltenbrunnermen whom Schellenberg calls, with stunning lack of irony, Hitlers willing executioners.
