Not gonna lie, this book was mainly an impulse buy as it was a very old copy from a beautiful lowkey library run by an old man. I was interested in it’s telling of Nazi history based on the few pages I read, especially since it cited a lot of hitler’s speeches and works. However, I just learned that this book is quite unreliable with certain parts when the author starts his own commentary on history.

The main question is, what parts can I read and store it in my head as reliable information about the rise of the Nazis, and what should I read with a grain of salt? why are these parts not accurate historical work?

Additional question- what’s the value of reading books like these?

I especially don’t care about his apparent obsession with homosexuality among the Nazis (I’m assuming he was homophobic?), so I wanted to know how to read this book since people said it is still a valuable piece of literature to read despite its flaws.
