Die Feinde Deutschlands behaupteten schon 1933 (unverändert bis zum heutigen Tage), daß Adolf Hitler der größte Störenfried der Geschichte sei. Doch durch Hitlers ganzes Auftreten seit Beginn seines Wirkens für das deutsche Reich zieht sich wie ein roter Faden der stets wiederholte Versuch, die Regierungen der anderen Staaten zu einer gemeinsamen Erneuerung Europas zu bewegen. Dieser Versuch scheiterte jedesmal daran, daß nirgends Bereitschaft bestand, auf ihn einzugehen.Hitlers Versuche insbesondere zur Verständigung mit England zwecks Verhütung eines zweiten Weltkrieges werden heute aus "political correctness" gern verschwiegen, ebenso die englische Abweisung dieser Friedensangebote. Diese Schrift aus dem Jahre 1940 gibt darüber Rechenschaft, wie die deutsche Führung sich bis und sogar noch nach Kriegsausbruch um Frieden und Verständigung zwischen den Völkern bemüht hat - und wer diese Ansätze zum Frieden hintertrieb.

Many books have been written on the topic of "why Germany lost the War" - or, conversely, "why the Allies won". This book, originally published in German in 1952, exposes a vitally important, but often underestimated factor: the German traitors who worked to destroy the German Reich from within. Their attempted assassination of Adolf Hitler on July 20, 1944 was only the tip of the iceberg. More and more, it appears that the Allies would not have been victorious without their help - and that, in fact, the war might never even have come about without their machinations!The author is aware that his opinion contrasts sharply with those that are currently popular. Nevertheless he claims for his motivation precisely the maxim expressed by Karl Goerdeler, one of the leaders of the Resistance: "Despite the smoke screen of propaganda, the German people must be told the truth, and nothing but the truth."
