Hitler : The 1963 Interview
December 2022
A package, with no identification, is left on the doorstep of a little known author. It contains a manuscript that is yellow with age. It is a written account of an interview that supposedly took place in South America in the 1960's. And, if true, it is an interview that could not only change history, but one that would both shock and outrage the World.
November 1963
In the wake of the Adolf Eichmann trial, English journalist, Richard Stewart, is in South America searching for Nazi war criminals. After little success he is about to return home when he is approached by a man and offered a secret interview with an unnamed Nazi official. Stewart refuses the interview until the official is named. Reluctantly, he is then told he would be interviewing none other than Adolf Hitler himself.
Stewart is amused by the ridiculous claim but, against his better judgment, decides to meet the man. Despite his scepticism, he conducts the interview and is surprised by how well the man explains all the major decisions taken by Hitler, up to, and during the war. It is chilling and, at times, disturbing. But Stewart cannot help being impressed by the honesty and openness.
But, what finally convinces him that the man is Hitler, is the shocking revelation that the CIA, not only knew of his survival and whereabouts, but hatched a bizarre plan to put him back into power in Germany.
Now he just had to prove it.

I read an advance copy of this book and thought it was really interesting and thought provoking. I am a big fan of this author but this book is a little different. It may not even be by this author.
It has a short prologue which explains how the author comes home one day to find a package, with no name or postage marks, on his doorstep.
Inside is a manuscript that is yellow with age. It appears to be a documented recording of an interview with Adolf Hitler himself. An interview that takes place in 1963.
The interview is given to an English journalist called Richard Stewart. The journalist is deeply sceptical at first, but is shocked by how convincing the man claiming to be Hitler is.
In the end he comes to believe it really is him, but also realise that his own life may now be in danger. This threat to his life doesn't just come from Hitler and the SS guards protecting him. For the interview had revealed that powerful people involved with the cold war, had known of Hitler's survival and had hatched a bizarre plan to return him to power in Germany.
Despite my liking for the author's other books I was doubtful about this one. I have always researched conspiracy theories and believed that the evidence for Hitler dying in his bunker was overwhelming. But this book presents a scenario in which he survived that is very convincing. This is explained early in the book and, after reading it, I couldn't put the book down.
The interview itself is also convincing as is the behaviour of the man claiming to be Hitler. But what mostly excited me was the revelation near to the end about the plot to use him in the event that the cold war with Russia took a different turn.
It was like a WOW moment and I found myself thinking, Yes, that is what they would have done.
The book is written in a way that suggests that the author, Andrew Blair, has little to do with the story. He just writes the prologue and the epilogue and states that the main body of the book is all Richard Stewart's 1963 interview and he has just published it unchanged.
I don't know if it is true but it is very convincing.
I totally recommend this book.
