Naumann's War

Designated by Adolf Hitler in his political testament to be the successor to Joseph Goebbels as the Third Reich's Minister of Propaganda, Werner Naumann was a vital component of the Nazi regime. A decorated officer in the Waffen-SS, a highly effective bureaucrat, the link-man between Goebbels and Heinrich Himmler, and – towards the end of the war – a rabble-rouser and a key organiser of the Werewolf guerilla movement, Naumann was at the very heart of the Third Reich. This 14,000-word book is an indispensable account of this fanatical and overlooked figure up the point of his capture shortly after his escape with Martin Bormann from Hitler's bunker in May 1945.
