I was Hitler's pilot

Mehr zum Buch

A decorated First World War pilot, Hans Baur was one of the leading commercial aviators of the 1920s before being becoming personal pilot to Adolf Hitler. Hitler, who loathed flying, felt safe with Baur and would allow no one else to pilot him. He relaxed in Baur's company and talked freely of his plans and of his real opinions about his friends and allies. Baur was also present during some of the most salient moments of the Third Reich; the Rohm Putsch, the advent of Eva Braun, Ribbentrop's journey to Moscow, and the Burgerbraukeller attempt on Hitler's life. He remained in Hitler's service right up to the final days in the Fuhrerbunker.
