24/01/2024
This book provides the first history of the British and American Intelligence Divisions (IDs) in occupied Germany and the liaison between them. It reveals that after the fall of Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich, much of Germany was controlled by an Anglo-American secret system of rule which was the real backbone of the occupation and largely explains its successful outcomes.
Praise for Hitler's Death: The Case Against Conspiracy
"Luke Daly-Groves offers a well-written, comprehensive and very convincing case against the idea Hitler may have survived death in 1945" - Professor Frank McDonough, Professor of International History, Liverpool John Moores University, author of 'The Hitler Years'.
"Not only timely and important, but also a highly readable account that demolishes the junk history surrounding Hitler's death with formidable and forensic research" - Guy Walters, Historian and Author of 'Hunting Evil'.
"... a brilliant analysis of the final hours of the Fuhrer, a factual account that reads as extraordinary as a fable, addressing the many theories and conspiracies that have arisen over a half-century of speculation. It searches out all the ghosts" - Alexander Theroux, American Novelist and Poet.
"In a fascinating analysis seasoned with wry humour, Luke Daly-Groves applies scholarly rigour and a formidable array of fresh evidence to a topic all too often mired in sensationalism and fantasy" - Dr Jonathan Colman, Senior Lecturer in International History, University of Central Lancashire.

​
"Hitler’s Death will be of value to those seriously interested in the Second World War, Nazism, or the purposes of “fake news” - Strategy Page (A. A. Nofi).
