Description
He's the worst Nazi war criminal you've never heard of
Sidekick to SS Chief Heinrich Himmler and supervisor of Nazi rocket scientist Wernher von Braun, General Hans Kammler was responsible for the construction of Hitler's slave labor sites and concentration camps. He personally altered the design of Auschwitz to increase crowding, ensuring that epidemic diseases would complement the work of the gas chambers.
Why has the world forgotten this monster? Kammler was declared dead after the war. But the aide who testified to Kammler's supposed "suicide" never produced the general's dog tags or any other proof of death.
Dean Reuter, Colm Lowery, and Keith Chester have spent decades on the trail of the elusive Kammler, uncovering documents unseen since the 1940s and visiting the purported site of Kammler's death, now in the Czech Republic.
Their astonishing discovery: US government documents prove that Hans Kammler was in American custody for months after the war - well after his officially declared suicide.
And what happened to him after that? Kammler was kept out of public view, never indicted or tried, but to what end? Did he cooperate with Nuremberg prosecutors investigating Nazi war crimes? Was he protected so the United States could benefit from his intimate knowledge of the Nazi rocket program and Germany's secret weapons?
The Hidden Nazi is true history more harrowing - and shocking - than the most thrilling fiction.

Disappointingly Egocentric
There is a reason why History books and Biographies aren't written from the First Person perspective: IT DOESN'T WORK. Author/Lawyer Dean Reuter (along with Investigative Journalists Colm Lowery and Keith Chester) inexplicably discusses their internal thoughts, motivations, and interview/investigation techniques as much as the legitimately fascinating chronicle of SS war criminal Hans Kammler - headshakingly forgiven, whisked away, and protected by American officials after the war because of his rocketry/weapon systems knowledge.
The research is exhaustive, the vocabulary/prose is creditable, the premise that Germany was approaching a functional nuclear weapon & the first ICBM is provocative, and the duplicitous elements to the story are infuriating. This is a captivating exposé..
But then the authors make it about them for some reason.
The deficiencies are unfortunately compounded by subpar delivery in this audiobook iteration. Traber Burns reads professionally (with excellent diction, timbre, cadence, and pacing), but with relatively weak voice-acting (his attempt at an Irish accent is laughable, for example). Burns furthermore has an "I'm obviously reading" matter-of-fact tone.
Blackstone Audio Sound Engineers then provide bare-bones technical support: e.g. including lazy splicing of re-recorded segments. The recording occasionally sounds thrown together.
Taken in toto, I rate 'The Hidden Nazi' a mere 4 stars out of 10. As a free option (part of the 'Plus' catalogue for Audible subscribers), it's not crazy to spend the time on it.. but don't spend money if they ask.
