Hitler's Last Plot: The 139 VIP Hostages Selected… von Ian Sayer
Not really a review, but Observations and Reminiscences in my Comments.
I have been studying this book and the depth of detail is somewhat overwhelming.
The book begins with a detailing of the history of the Prominenten ( 139 high profile prisoners Hitler ordered the SS to take from the camps) and their locations before they were used as bargaining chips.
Sayer and Dronfield team together to bring us a novel of connections and to make us witness to many things, among them are the interactions between the Prominenten and the SS / SD.
The characters and locations are skillfully described and cleverly interlinked against the backdrop of World War II.
Yes, there was some leniency by the SS, but if the thought of a very possible execution didn't make the Prominenten think twice, I'm sure the idea of an arthropod giving them an infection that caused internal bleeding would.
Neither thought was inescapable due to fact guards with machine pistols lined the roads and it was well known there were areas surrounded with bleak barbed-wired enclosures, riddled with poor sanitation, and close human contact.
In closing, I felt this was a well-researched book which depicted the inconceivable life of the Prominenten, who were heralded by peasants, helped by partisans and in the days after the official surrender, rescued by US forces.

Il libro, basato su una pericolosa inchiesta che gli autori hanno condotto in prima persona, del furto delle riserve d'oro e di valuta straniera della Germania nazista, scomparso durante il trasporto, dopo la caduta del nazismo nel 1945.
