“Conversations with Hitler” – Hermann Rauschning, Tel Aviv 1941 | Rare Wartime Hebrew Edition | First-hand Nazi Inner Circle Testimony - “Conversations with Hitler” by Hermann Rauschning is a rare and highly significant political document based on first-hand conversations between the author and Adolf Hitler, as well as other senior Nazi leaders, during the early years of the Third Reich. Rauschning, a former senior member of the Nazi movement who later broke with the regime, recorded Hitler’s private statements shortly after their meetings.
