Gold in the Furnace is an ardent National Socialist's vivid and moving account of life in occupied Germany in the aftermath of World War II, based on extensive travels and interviews conducted in 1948 and 1949. The authoress, Savitri Devi, is scathing in her description of Allied brutality and hypocrisy: millions of German civilians died from Allied firebombing; millions more perished after the war, driven from their homes by Russians, Czechs, and Poles; more than a million prisoners of war perished from planned starvation or outright murder in Allied concentration camps; untold thousands more disappeared into slave labour camps from the Congo to Siberia. Savitri Devi describes in vivid detail how individual National Socialists were subjected to de-Nazification by Germany's democratic liberators: murder, torture, starvation, show-trials, imprisonment, and execution for the higher echelons; petty indignities and extorted recantations for ordinary party members.
