In his last book, the recently deceased Lutz Hachmeister devotes himself to the interviews that Adolf Hitler gave to foreign reporters. The brilliant study is not very flattering for the media world of the time.
There is a tragedy inherent in the publication of this book. Because its author did not live to see it published. Lutz Hachmeister died at the end of August this year, shortly before his 65th birthday. Hachmeister was a master at finding unusual topics and he discovered and developed them in a variety like hardly any other German non-fiction author. He wrote about Heidegger and Schleyer, about the Berlin Republic, the power center of Hanover and the Côte d'Azur. And that's not even mentioning his numerous, award-winning film projects. Just think of the depressing documentary format “The Goebbels Experiment” from 2005.
