I Was Hitler's Pilot: The Memoirs of Hans Baur

A chilling memoir by the man who flew the FÃ¼hrer.
Â
A decorated First World War pilot, Hans Baur was one of the leading commercial aviators of the 1920s before being pitched into the thick of it as personal pilot to a certain â€œHerr Hitler.â€ Hitler, who loathed flying, felt safe with Baur and would allow no one else to pilot him. As a result, an intimate relationship developed between the two men and it is this which gives these memoirs special significance. Hitler relaxed in Baurâ€™s company and talked freely of his plans and of his real opinions about his friends and allies.
Â
Baur was also present during some of the most salient moments of the Third Reich; the RÃ¶hm Putsch, the advent of Eva Braun, Ribbentropâ€™s journey to Moscow, the BÃ¼rgerbrÃ¤ukeller attempt on Hitlerâ€™s life; and, when war came, he flew Hitler from front to front. He remained in Hitlerâ€™s service right up to the final days in the FÃ¼hrerbunker. In a powerful account of Hitlerâ€™s last hours, Baur describes his final discussions with Hitler before his suicide; and his last meeting with Magda Goebbels in the tortuous moments before she killed her children. Remarkably, throughout it all, Baurâ€™s loyalty to the FÃ¼hrer never wavered. His memoirs capture these events in all their fascinating and disturbing detail.
