  Footnotes

  1

  Translator’s note: “Führer,” which is also the ordinary German word meaning “leader,” is now known in English as Hitler’s title. It should be kept in mind that calling Hitler the “Führer” was heavily ideological, the way referring to someone as “Our Dear Leader” would be in English. For that reason, Görtemaker puts “Führer” in quotes throughout her book when it is an idolizing reference to Hitler.

  2

  Translator’s note: “Volk,” the German word for a people or tribe, also has a different connotation in the Nazi context. I have translated it as “the People” (capitalized), to emphasize its idealized, monolithic meaning, and have translated the adjective form, “völkisch,” as “Populist,” meaning “nationalist” or “xenophobic” in addition to the normal English sense of “populist.”

  (<< back)

  3

  Translator’s note: “Gauleiter” is a Nazi bureaucratic term for a regional Party administrator, roughly equivalent to a Party “governor.”

  (<< back)

  4

  Translator’s note: German paramilitary organizations, made up largely of defeated German soldiers returning from World War I and often deployed semiofficially to fight communists. Many Freikor
ps members later joined the SA and SS.

  (<< back)

  5

  Translator’s note: Sometimes translated as “coordination” or “integration,” this term refers to the nationalization under National Socialism of previously private or independent organizations.

  6

  Translator’s note: The “Volksgemeinschaft” was the Nazi social ideal of a racially unified and hierarchically organized “People’s community.”

  Obersalzberg, January 2

  Dear Madam,

  Thank you very much for your lovely Christmas present. I was very happy to get it.

  We have been at the Berghof since the first day of Christmas and are hard at work skiing. Charlie (Stark) has already broken his foot and has to stay in bed for 3 weeks. Still, we have not stopped skiing, to the Führer’s horror; he prophesies the same fate for all of us.

  Has little Muck settled in? I hope he is not disgracing his worthy parents.

  I wish you a very good New Year, madam, and your husband as well.

  Best regards!

  Yours

  Eva Braun

  Translator’s note: “Mountain” is Berg in German, a pun on “Berghof” (“mountain estate”).

  9

  Literally, “living space.” This concept of Hitler’s was a major component in the Nazi ideology, referring to the German population’s need for land and raw materials and the availability of this land in the east after the Slavic peoples were killed or deported.
