Acerca de esta escucha

By July of 1944, the Third Reich's days were numbered. Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, a general staff insider with open eyes (and access to the Fuhrer), was convinced that assassinating Hitler was the only way to prevent the destruction of the Fatherland and the deaths of millions. On July 20, he hid a bomb-stuffed briefcase at a high-level meeting. The explosion tore through the room, but a table leg spared Hitler from the blast. The result was a witch hunt, a wave of executions, and a further pointless year of war. Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh deliver an exhilarating and definitive portrait of the anti-Nazi movement (called "Secret Germany") that almost killed Hitler. Secret Germany is the story of "World War II's boldest plot-that-failed" (Time), a coup that was a moral and spiritual necessity.©2008 Michael Baigent and the estate of Richard Leigh (P)2012 Audible, Inc. 20th Century Alemania Américas Estados Unidos Europa Militar Modern Segunda Guerra Mundial Wars & Conflicts

Reseñas editoriales

Secret Germany tells the story of the 1944 assassination plot that failed to kill Hitler and overturn his murderous regime. Fleet Cooper is up to the task of narrating the intense events that immediately surrounded the July 20 bombing by the German resistance movement, as well as the complex background - both historical and esoteric - that informed the unsuccessful coup. Cooper’s exemplary handle of the material in this often cerebral book takes listeners deep behind enemy lines, where Operation Valkyrie was executed, and then punished mercilessly. Hitler and his Gestapo accused and "exterminated" thousands of people in the aftermath of the uncovered plot, including Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, his fellow conspirators, and members of their families.

In depth Background

Whilst some have complained the book does not focus enough on the actual events of operation Valkyrie it does go into great depth about the cultural background and the "secret Germany" that deeply influenced Stauffenberg. It is this insight that makes this an incredible read. You are given a view into the Germanic past that led both to the Nazi Party and the Moral Fortitude of Claus Von Stauffenberg. This is history that is not often investigated but gives deep insight into the German culture, myth, and volksgeist. A worthy read/listen.

Wow!

Well worth the listen! Being in the right place at the right time...and acting. It's a great reminder to do the good whether people see or not. May we all do the good within our reach!

False advertising

Narration
Almost poetic, such is its melody, the lilting inflection, intonation, pacing, and vocal tone.

Content/story
I anticipated a description of the planning and personalities leading up to Hitler’s failed assignation. I’ve listened to this audio three times and still cannot make out its purpose.

Mental Masturbation

Definitely not a narrative history. More like endless analysis similar to a CNN panel of "experts".

Thoroughly researched

This book will deliver what it meant to be German. Brings forth the German culture and founding of 19th Century Germany.

The last few chapters are too erudite and far overwritten.

The author goes into far too much detail about the psyche of the German people based upon his own observations and speculation. Far too wordy and difficult to follow. I subscribe to these Audible books to be entertained rather than be lectured to.

Good book but another annoying narrator

Narrator's BAD German accent when quoting Germans was annoying and completely unnecessary. It sounded like a bad WWII movie from 1946. I know Germans speak German but not with an American accent imitating German. Just read it normally. I hate when narrators do this.

A few good chapters

Misleading title. Not my style of book, spent way to much time on pre 1900’s

Convoluted!!!

This is more a book of early literary history. Only about a third of the text deals with actual German war history. i would only suggest this book to create background noise to fill a quiet room while the listener is busy and not really listening.

This Author Salivates Over Wehrmacht Officers

Presuming that this book was not AI generated, the author has a seemingly, exceedingly high opinion of the genetically inferior, inbred Wehrmacht Officer Corps, thankfully incapable of not only winning a war, but also completing a seemingly easy task when you are standing next to Der Chubby, Diminutive Dictator. The prose of this probable work of fiction, fawn over the unnecessarily long surnames of Der Ignominious Bastarde, who are less deserving of praise than Wile E. Coyote!
