About this listen

He was evil incarnate, a main perpetrator of the Holocaust. Standing at six foot four inches and with deeply grotesque facial scars, he instilled fear as Hitler's top executioner of death. This thoroughly researched book takes you into the twisted psyche of one of the most vile and murdering figures of the Nazi regime.

Ernst Kaltenbrunner was a high-ranking Austrian SS official, a driven anti-Semite, and fanatical Hitler loyalist. Rising quickly in the ranks, he was personally appointed as Chief of the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA) — which included the Gestapo, Kripo, and SD — by Himmler himself. Under Kaltenbrunner's command, the genocide of Jews greatly intensified as the process of extermination throughout the occupied countries picked up incredible pace.

Over seventy years later, Arthur Birago stumbles upon a mind-blowing forty-page letter by Kaltenbrunner that was hidden away in a safe of the State Archive of Upper Austria. Written secretly in Nuremberg prison while waiting to be executed, the letter is addressed to his children and was smuggled out in the bra of a female visitor.

It's a sentimental and mendacious account of his childhood memories and upbringing in the countryside, from where he climbed to the zenith of power in the Nazi ranks and ultimately enjoyed the privilege of having direct access to Hitler. The letter is Kaltenbrunner's legacy to his children and a potential blueprint of a future all-powerful Fourth Reich.

K - Kaltenbrunner is a meticulously researched and powerfully written book based on the historical facts surrounding Ernst Kaltenbrunner's last months of life. The prose masterfully draws you deeper and deeper into his distorted and abysmal psyche until you're sitting face to face with the Nazi monster inside his cell on death row.

A riveting historical, creative nonfiction, K - Kaltenbrunner brings to life little known facts about the former "Lord of the concentration camps" never published before. It's perfect for readers interested in the Holocaust, World War Two historical nonfiction, WWII War Criminals, and the Nuremberg trials.

Order your copy now and get ready to delve into the distorted mind of a war criminal, who ordered in the morning the killing of thousands of innocent people in the gas chambers of the concentration camps and was in the evening at home a loving father to his children.
