H.B. Gisevius - Biography of Hitler
Gisevius, an Abwehr (counterespionage) officer during WWII, was presented after the war as one of the first and foremost opposition members in Germany. I'm not so sure about that story. His biography of Hitler is interesting in a strange way. He knew the man personally. Not many biographers did. He tends to be a bit too apologetic for my taste.




Abwehr chief Adm. Wilhelm Canaris was executed about two weeks before the end of the war for being, secretly, one of the chief opponents of Hitler. Turns out, he'd been sending info to MI5/MI6 almost from the first week of the Polish campaign. How close was this guy to Canaris?
