A prize-winning architect, Giesler was an intimate of Adolf Hitler and also well-acquainted with many of the principal players in Hitler's Third Reich government and in the NSDAP. As Hitler's frequent guest at his two secret military headquarters--\u003cem\u003eWolfsschanze\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWerwolf\u003c\/em\u003e--during the war years, Giesler became a trusted confidant to whom the Supreme Commander could unburden himself as the two worked together drafting city-wide building ideas for Munich and Linz. Because of his deeply artistic nature, Hitler needed such a creative outlet; it relaxed him for making difficult war decisions. Giesler reveals to us the extent of the artist in Hitler, how it affirmed itself in his character and influenced his worldview (\u003cem\u003eWeltanschauung\u003c\/em\u003e). In this book, you'll learn about an authentic Hitler--Hitler the artist and humanist. Softcover, 245 pages, 110 images.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eYeager, Carolyn:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Carolyn Yeager is a writer and former podcaster.
