NOTES

*****

(1) The untold part being the revelation of information from Ultra.  Warner says that any history of World War II from the allied side before 1973 is invalid because it was written before the revelation of the Ultra secret (at least officially).  I wouldn't go this far but I have read of references in older histories of information gleaned from "spies" or inside sources which must have been Ultra information and the author was just giving the cover story given at the time.  

(2) Out of print and older, this is still an excellent account of the Channel Dash.  I highly recommend that any serious arm-chair historian of World War II track down a copy!

(3) A good book but Lucas treats the tale of the Scherhorn Pocket as an actual German pocket of resistance that the Germans kept trying to relieve.  Operation Scherhorn has since been revealed to have been a massive deception on part of the Soviets and the NKVD to lure the Germans into spending time, material and manpower trying to rescue and reinforce a non-existent pocket of resistance.  The Germans (and Allied authors such as Lucas) fell for it completely and never suspected it was a trap. 

(4) No, its good!  A BBC radio program I heard made fun of it for being a weird book about Hitler's library, like, what could that ever be about.  But it was very interesting, I highly recommend it!

(5) I know books about Nazi occultism (even "serious" ones poo-pooing it or considering the effects of occult views on the Nazis) make serious historians like Ian Kershaw throw up, but I have come to the viewpoint that the Nazis were an occult movement.  Hitler was just a really much more evil and powerful Jim Jones or David Karesh.   It doesn't matter if the occult views were real or not, if God or gods are real or not.  The thing is that the freakazoids like Himmler and Hess really did believe their bilge.  Hitler and Goebbels may not have believed it but they used para-religious and occult beliefs and topics to mold the masses. 
     Serious historians are like "we can't talk about that gunk because it isn't real and only freaky people talk about it, not university historians!" Only problem is, is that their subjects, Hitler and his Goons, were freaky weirdos who took that freaky stuff seriously and used it!

(6) Ugh... um, skip this one.  Its got a phantasmagorical title that made me buy it (Oh really! How he could have won!  Gosh gee wizz, gimme that now!!!).  But its just a rehash of the outline of World War II in Europe with a few commentary comments of the same old conventional wisdom you've read elsewhere.  If he had supported Rommel, he could have been in India by 1943.  If he hadn't faffed about fiddling with his own plans, he probably could have smashed Russia right off the bat in 1941.  Buy it if you must, I'm just warning you that I wasn't impressed and I've read lots of this stuff.
