Royals and the Reich by Jonathan Petropoulos- Princes Philipp and Christoph von Hessen-Kassel, great grandsons of Queen Victoria of England, had been humiliated by their defeat in World War 1, as was much of the German aristocracy. They feared the social unrest wrought by the ineffectual Weimar Republic. Jonathan Petropoulos shows how the princes, lured by prominent positions in the NSDAP regime and highly susceptible to nationalist appeals, became enthusiastic supporters of Hitler. Prince Philipp, son-in-law to the King of Italy, became the highest-ranking prince in the “new” German state and developed a close personal relationship with Hitler and Hermann Göering. Prince Christoph was a prominent SS officer and head of the most important intelligence agency in the Third Reich. In return, the princes made the NSDAP socially acceptable to wealthy, high-society patrons. Prince Philipp even introduced Göering to Mussolini at a critical stage in the Party's development and later served as a liaison between Hitler and the Italian dictator. Permitted access to Hessen family private papers and the Royal Archives at Windsor Castle, Petropoulos follows the story of the House of Hesse through to its tragic denouement, the princes' betrayal and persecution by an increasingly paranoid Hitler and prosecution and deNSDAPfication by the Allies. This book is a hardcover, with a dust cover that is in very good condition. It contains 523 pages with a full index. I did look this book up on Amazon and on Goodreads and it got very good reviews. For those of you interested in this subject, this is a very well documented book on the subject. This book is in like new condition.
