The Search for 'Gestapo' M?ler : The Man Without a Shadow

An account of disappearance of Heinrich M?ler, chief of Hitler's Gestapo and a major Nazi war criminal, and the international efforts to bring him to justice. The Search for 'Gestapo' M?ler is the perfect book for readers of Peter Longerich, Volker Ullrich and Ian Kershaw. While many of the leading Nazi war criminals were either dead or forced to stand trial at the Nuremberg Trials following the Allied victory in the Second World War, some managed to evade justice. Many of these despicable men who had escaped were tracked down across the globe and brought to trial in the years after the war. Gestapo M?ler, however, was never found. But how was he able to evade retribution for so long? Charles Whiting, World War Two veteran and renowned historian, has written a book that is part history and part detective story. Whiting discusses how M?ler rose from being a typical Bavarian policeman to become leader of the Nazi Gestapo in 1936, before uncovering what happened to him after he was last definitely seen in Hitler's underground bunker in Berlin in April, 1945. Through in-depth research, Whiting meticulously exposes the numerous theories that surround the disappearance of M?ler. Did he die in Berlin? Or was he able, like his subordinate Adolf Eichmann, to escape? And were there potential cover-ups by both East and West regarding his later whereabouts and activities? The Search of Gestapo M?ler reveals one of the greatest mysteries of the twentieth century.
