No dictator can effectively govern a nation on his own. This was certainly the case with Adolf Hitler, who had little time for or interest in the day-to-day regional administration of the Nazi Party. For that purpose, he appointed his most loyal, charismatic, and brutal subordinates: The “Little Hitlers”, officially known as Gauleiters.

In this third volume of a series begun in 2012, Michael Miller and Andreas Schulz present in meticulous detail the lives, careers, and crimes of 37 such men. Included are several whose wartime career paths took them outside of their home provinces and led to widespread oppression and terror outside the borders of the Reich. Among these were Fritz Sauckel, who presided over the roundup of millions for slave labor in the Reich, Josef Terboven who oppressed the people of Norway with uncompromising brutality for five years, and Gustav Simon who ruthlessly “Germanized” Luxembourg. Perhaps most notorious of all was Julius Streicher, whose virulent attacks - in writing and at the podium - made him the unofficial face of anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany.

Who were the Nazis? How and why did they do what they did? What became of them after World War II? My books answer all of those questions and more.

Since 2001 I have been working on multiple series of books providing comprehensive information and photos on the senior leadership of the Third Reich. At this time, I have had seven books published by three publishers (one American, two British). I present only the facts, gleaned from countless hours of research in and outside of numerous archives, museums, and libraries, and leave it to the reader to reach their own conclusions about the men whose lives, careers, and crimes I document.

Sir Ian Kershaw, author of one of the best biographies of Hitler (in two volumes), wrote the foreword to one of my books:

"The reference works by Michael Miller and Andreas Schulz, painstakingly compiled on the basis of meticulous research, are a great help to historians of the Third Reich and to anyone wishing to learn precise biographical and career details of the Nazi leadership. This latest volume, providing a plethora of personal data on the SA leadership, is no exception. I know of no comparable compilation. It would have saved me much endeavour had it been available when I was writing my biography of Hitler. I'm sure it will now be warmly welcomed, as it deserves to be, by scholars and students of Nazi Germany, and I'm very happy to record my own pleasure at its publication."

Sincerest thanks to everyone who supports my work.

~ Michael D. Miller

For those of you familiar with the previous works of Michael Miller and Andreas Schulz, no explanation is necessary. For those of you who are unfamiliar with their previous efforts, or who have an interest in the people who made things happen in the Third Reich, this is a must. As with the previous two volumes, a huge amount of research is abundantly clear here to the reader. I have all of Mike Millers books, and they all display his usual standard setting level of research and readability. Congratulations again Mike and Andreas, and I look forward to the next published work. Highly recommended!

Gauleiter volume 3 continues the excellent study of Hitler's regional governors by Mike Miller and Andreas Schulz. Those that have their previous works know how much information and research goes into these books. As few books on the Gauleiters are in English these are invaluable not only to the serious researcher but a great starting point for anyone who wants to learn about Hitler's top paladins. These are simply the finest books on the subject anywhere. And of course they are loaded with unpublished rare photos. A must buy for the WWII researcher or collector.

5.0 out of 5 stars Volume 3 of the most comprehensive biographical series covering every Gauleiter of the Nazi Party

Volume 3 of the Gauleiter series by Michael Miller and Andreas Schulz covers Fritz Saukel to Hans Zimmermann. If you are familiar with volumes 1 and 2, you'll recognize in volume 3 the impressive amount of research and the clear and consistent presentation of the biographical details, offices and positions held, decorations awarded, anecdotal information, period articles, excerpts from period speeches, and post-war fate of these hand chosen deputies of Adolf Hitler. There has never been an English language reference covering all of the Regional Leaders of the NSDAP. This series is a must-have for researchers, biographers, historians, and anyone wishing to add to their understanding of the highest ranking personalities of the Nazi Party.

Preordered this volume in Dec, and received it in July. The first thing I noticed is that this volume is in a new larger format which I like much better. The detail and research in these volumes are fantastic Miller and Schultz have outdone themselves again. Well worth the wait and a must-have.

A book of exceptional quality and detail. Full of historical material that is uncompromisingly useful to the avid historian and student of history as well as those that simply enjoy the esoteric topics of the Third Reich. Gauleiter volume 3 is an honoured placement on anyone's bookshelf.

Biografias dos Gauleiters, adminitradores regionais, do Partido Nazista. Eram o que se chama em inglês "true believers" do Nacional Socialismo.
Muito interessante. Muito bem pesquisado.
