About this listen

In 1930, as a young woman, Christa Schroeder became a stenographer for the Nazi party, before being noticed by Hitler who, in 1933, hired her as his private secretary.

Schroeder remained by Hitler's side, fiercely loyal, for twelve years, living at the Wolfsschanze and even joining him and his staff in the Führerbunker in Berlin in January 1945.

In 1945, interned in the Augsburg camp, Christa Schroeder was interrogated by French liaison officer Albert Zoller who asked her to recount her years spent with the Führer. Schroeder's testimony, published here in the form of interviews with Zollers, gives an intimate, astonishing, and incredibly detailed insight into the private life and personality of Adolf Hitler throughout the 1930s and 1940s.

An exceptional testimony, Twelve Years with Hitler is an essential source document on Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler. Translated into English here for the first time, Albert Zoller's interviews with Christa Schroeder are guaranteed to shock and fascinate any military history enthusiast.
