Diary of Adolf Hitler's Chambermaid

KOHLER, Pauline. Diario della cameriera di Adolfo Hitler. Ciò che accadeva nel misterioso 'Chalet' di Berchtesgaden [Diary of Adolf Hitler's Chambermaid. What Happened in the Mysterious 'Chalet' of Berchtesgaden]. Milan, Donatello De Luigi Editore, November 1945. 8vo, green publisher's wrappers with black-and-white photograph of Hitler and Eva Braun at the Berghof. Series «I Libri del Giorno» no. 7. First Italian edition of this controversial account, originally published in the United States in 1940 under the title 'The Woman Who Lived in Hitler's House'. The work, presented as an authentic diary of a chambermaid at the Berghof, offers a voyeuristic glimpse into Hitler's private life in the months preceding the war. Printed a few months after the end of the conflict, the volume testifies to the immediate Italian editorial interest in documentation of the Nazi regime. Copy in good general condition with wear consistent with its age and the quality of wartime paper.
