«Anotaciones sobre Hitler» is the historical essay by Sebastian Haffner, published by Galaxia Gutenberg, S.L., in hardback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Sebastian Haffner addresses the enigma of Adolf Hitler: who he was, how he came to power, and why he was destined to fail. He examines the social, political, and emotional forces that shaped his character, his relationships with women, his ideology, and his obsession with extermination, and asks whether another Hitler could emerge in modern Germany.
Work originally published in 1978 under the title Anmerkungen zu Hitler; this 2002 edition belongs to the Essay collection.
Essay for readers interested in the history of the Third Reich, political biography, and the analysis of power in twentieth-century Europe.
Raimund Pretzel, better known by his pseudonym Sebastian Haffner, was a German journalist and historian. As an émigré in Britain during World War II, Haffner argued that accommodation was not only impossible with Adolf Hitler but also impossible with the German Reich with which Hitler had gambled. Peace could be secured only by rolling back history and restoring Germany to a network of smaller states. As a journalist in West Germany, Haffner's independence and penchant for provocation precipitated breaks with editors both liberal and conservative. His intervention in the Spiegel affair of 1962, and his contributions to the anti-fascist rhetoric of the student New Left, sharply raised his profile.
