Item #794 Moreover, Bouhler directed an early Nazi euthanasia program whereby the physically handicapped and mentally ill were murdered. Those actions provided the foundation for subsequent Nazi efforts at systematic annihilation. He is also known as the director of the promotion of literature sympathetic to the Nazi cause, and wrote several sanctioned works published during the rise of National Socialism. A war criminal, Bouhler committed suicide upon capture by American forces.
Albeit defective, this remains a desirable copy of a scarce and fragile book. A hagiography of Hitler, apparently published in the early 1940s, with a heavy propagandistic bent. Author Bouhler was an early follower of Hitler and was appointed Head of Hitler's Chancellery, acting as a secretary for Hitler by handling private correspondence.
