Hitler said, "I am convinced that propaganda is anessential means to achieve one's aims." Enlisting Europe's aristocracy, international industrialists, and the political elite in Britain and America, Hitler spun a treacherous tale everyone wanted to believe: he was a man of peace. Central to his deception was an international high society Black Widow, Princess Stephanie Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst, whom Hitler called "his dear princess." She, and others, conspired for Hitler at the highest levels of the British aristocracy and spread their webto America's wealthy powerbrokers. Hitler's aristocrats became his eyes, listening posts, and mouthpieces in the drawing rooms, cocktail parties, and weekend retreats of Europe and America. Among these "gentlemen spies" and "ladies of mystery" were the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Lady Nancy Astor, Charles Lindbergh, and two of the Mitford sisters. They were the trusted voices disseminating his political and cultural propaganda about the "New Germany," brushing aside the Nazis' atrocities. Distrustful ofhis own Foreign Ministry, Hitler used his aristocrats to open the right doors in Great Britain and the United States, creating a formidable fifth column within government and financial circles. In a tale of drama and intrigue, Hitler's Aristocrats uncovers the battle between these influencers and those who heroically opposed them"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20230320. 650 $a Fascists $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 $a Fascists $z United States $v Biography. 650 $a Elite (Social sciences) $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 $a Aristocracy (Political science) $x History $y 20th century. 650 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Collaborationists $z Great Britain. 650 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Collaborationists $z United States. 650 $a Propaganda, German. 651 7 $a Germany $x Foreign relations $y 1933-1945. 941 $a 7 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012502.0 952 $l OJPC027 $d 20231120145233.0 $m 940.531 RON 952 $l DMPC403 $d 20230725010207.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011736.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20230620010457.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230404010548.0 952 $l KOPC446 $d 20230323010418.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0BA7F180C94011ED836DB6A126ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
