“My Shadow”

Hitler’s Shadow – In The Service Of The Fuehrer

In this one and only interview, Karl Wilhelm Krause testifies of his duties, his daily routine, and what he saw, heard and experienced, while in the constant presence of, and service to, the leader of the Third Reich. Hitler called him “mein Schatten” (my shadow).

This testimony reveals surprising facts about the most enigmatic man in history, painting a far different picture of Hitler, than the historians, Hollywood, and Media have typically portrayed.

What Hitler was really like as a person and as a boss, his habits, his mission, the so-called Annexation of Austria, Crystal Night, the beginnings of the war with Poland, England’s declaration of war against Germany, Germany’s decision to attack the Soviet Union, etc. There is a wonderful anecdotal story about a private, unscheduled taxi ride and walk around Munich, just the two of them together, one night at Christmas time.
