The Führer's Prophecy (The Reich Trilogy)

Product Information

On 18 February 1943, Goebbels delivered the total war speech at the Sportpalast. [153] According to Herf, the enthusiastic audience reception to Goebbels' calls for total war against the Jewish–Bolshevik enemy indicated that Nazi loyalists still agreed with the prophecy. [154] During a speech at the Reichstag on 30 January 1939, Adolf Hitler threatened "the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe" in the event of war: Q. Now having two novels under your belt, and a third on the way, what is the most important thing an author needs to achieve when writing a thriller? According to Longerich, Hitler's reference to "international Jewish financiers" envisioned circumstances that the United States and other western powers intervened to prevent German expansionism in Europe, to which Hitler was already committed. If that happened, the "international Jewish financiers" would be blamed for the resulting war and Jews remaining in Germany would be held as hostages threatened with annihilation. If emigration failed and the Western powers prevented Hitler from pursuing irredentism, or joined a continental European war, all options were being kept open for further intensification of the Nazi anti-Jewish policy. [194] Evans cites the Nazi belief in an international Jewish conspiracy to argue that Hitler's aim was to hold the Jews hostage to prevent American entry into the war. If America did so, the Jews throughout Europe would be murdered. [205]

Now, by popular demand, Klein has written a sequel, The Führer’s Prophecy, which forms the second part of the newly labelled ‘Reich Trilogy’, and which is just as, if not more, entertaining than the original entry. Audaciously entertaining, it has to be a genuine contender for this year’s best thriller and will no doubt prove just as big a hit as its predecessor. A key issue is what was meant, or understood, by "annihilation" ( Vernichtung) in 1939. [19] Historian Sarah Gordon suggests that Hitler chose the word (also translated "the end" or "destruction") for its vagueness, as he wanted to frighten the Jews into emigrating without explicitly calling for murder, which the reaction to Kristallnacht indicated that the German public opposed. [175] Confino writes that "no one in Germany knew exactly what the word meant or how this metaphor of 'annihilation' would come to pass". [19] He suggests that it evoked Kristallnacht and its burning synagogues, not the gas chambers of Auschwitz or the mass graves at Babi Yar (which did not exist yet). Confino contends that although not even Hitler knew what he meant by "annihilation", the speech demonstrated that Hitler and his listeners already envisioned "a world in which extreme violence was applied to get rid of Jews and eliminate Judaism". [176] Genocide [ edit ] Q. You write in the thriller genre, which is one of the rare types of fiction that appeals to women as much as men. Why do you think this genre is so popular with readers? Set during WW2, we see inside Nazi death camp Auschwitz, where the groundwork for Franklin’s plan is laid.In November 1938, the Nazi leadership organized and incited the Kristallnacht pogrom against Jews, in part to bleed off excess antisemitic sentiment from party activists that had been suppressed for diplomatic reasons during the Munich crisis. [11] [12] The pogrom involved unprecedented public violence against German Jews, including the burning of synagogues, looting of Jewish-owned stores and residences, and assaults on Jews, which (according to official figures) caused 91 deaths. Hitler personally approved the arrest of 30,000 Jews and their incarceration in concentration camps. [13] Many Germans were disgusted by the violence, although few overtly opposed the government. [14] Kristallnacht was also denounced abroad, endangering the German government's efforts to organize and facilitate the emigration of German Jews. [12] [15] The Führer’s Prophecy is the second part of The Reich Trilogy, following bestselling thriller The Counterfeit Candidate. With this explosive sequel, author Brian Klein has cemented his position as Britain’s most exciting thriller writer. A. However hateful the subjects maybe, I try to portray them as three-dimensional, believable characters who are credible.
