Description
Focuses on the leading women of the Third Reich and the role they played in the Nazi regime. To illustrate this theme, the author paints pen portraits of six famous women who were all bound up with Hitler's regime: Eva Braun, Magda Goebbels, Winifred Wagner, Leni Riefenstahl, Zarah Leander, and the legendary screen goddess Marlene Dietrich.Tags

I enjoyed this book it was easy to read and the topic was most interesting. This book contains narratives of the live's of women while the Nazis were in power and the seemly harmless (albeit naive} choices they made that further helped create a society that allowed the holocaust to happen.
Knopp on oma "Hitleri ..." seeriaga ka Eestis tuntust kogunud. Teab, millest kirjutab. Üks aus autor kes ei häbene näidata, et ta loeb võõrkeelseid teoseid võimalusel emakeelses tõlkes. Tihtipeale on nii, et meeletu "venemaa asjatundja" teose lõpust võib leida viiteid reale venekeelsete allikate, kuid neile ja ainult neile, mis juba inglise keelde on tõlgitud. Knoppi selles süüdistada ei saa. Küll saab aga arusaamatus stiilis, mis kätkeb endas iga pooleteise lehekülje tagant lause poolitamist ja lugeja ette paari tsitaadi paiskamist, mis antud kohaga nõrgalt seotud ja tekstis niikuinii ära kasutamist leiavad. Tõsi, raamat saab nõnda paksem. Isiklikult meeldis enim viimane lugu - Marlene. Teised midagi seniloetule show more juurde ei andnud. show less
