Ultimately Thyssen was captured by the Nazis in France and ended the war as a prisoner at Dachau. The memoir, published in 1941, may have served Thyssen's purpose as, after the war, he received only minor penalties for his large role in the Nazi rearmament of the 1930s.

Ultimately Thyssen was captured by the Nazis in France and ended the war as a prisoner at Dachau. The memoir, published in 1941, may have served Thyssen's purpose as, after the war, he received only minor penalties for his large role in the Nazi rearmament of the 1930s. The book reads as a self-serving document and thus cannot be believed as history. Some of Thyssen's observations, however, can be regarded as his views of other Nazis. For instance, he is highly critical of what he characterizes as Hitler's disastrous economic program, saying Hitler had no understanding in this area and could not even comprehend what his advisers were telling him. His description of Nazi corruption, especially Goering, is entertaining and disgusting. 6 likes 4 comments
