Rochus Misch, memor.

I bought yesterday the book "I've been the bodyguard of Adolf Hitler".
Writter with the help of Nicolas Bourcier.

Well Claudiu what do you think about it? His defense (the way he arrived to be Hitler's bodyguard) is quite light, don't you think? He seems to be ...(in his mermoirs) just a small piece of a giant machine. Well, at least the book is a relaxing one.

Yours,

PS By the way, i hope to see you this summer;

Yes in deed.
It was a relating one.
I understand taht he welkomes people who want's to meet him,in his home.
He was a real small piece like you say.
Anyway,I recomand it.

Wow,
I just red my prev answer....
That's the way you write when a 4 years boy wants to take charge of the pc...

Anyway.
I wrote some time ago to Mr Misch.
Today I got a very nice letter from him with some photos.
Will post them soon,together with a translation.

Photos received by C-2

If anyone is interested, BBC recently aired in the US (Military Channel) an entire mini-series entitled "Hitler's Bodyguards", relating assasination attempts against Hitler and his bodyguard's corps organization (apparently the inner core was made up of former bavarian nazi/SA colleagues from his street fighting days before 1933).

Regarding C-2's letter and answer - way to go. I always forget that sometimes the simplest way is the best: writing a polite letter will often get you a reply.

As an off-topic - interesting byline in a history magazine, in 1944, an american school kid as part of his school project wrote letters to all the well-known us generals. Surprisingly, he received shoulder army command patches from many of them - including Eisenhower.

Correct. When my book on the Rumanian air force in WW2 was released, I sent two copies to the residence in Switzerland of King Michael I. One was dedicated my me to him, the other left blank. I asked him to dedicate it to me.
After a few weeks, I received the book back, signed (but without a specific dedication). It's one of the most cherished signed books from my collection (and I have over 100).
