Winston Churchill famously termed the Soviet Union "a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma"; a reader of Aytun Altindal's "Behind the Mask of Hitler" may well think Churhill's aphorism aptly describes Der Führer as well. Altindal casts his nets very wide indeed across published and many previously unknown documents, a spectacular variety of sources, many of a kind not often plumbed in historical research, and reveals many intriguing facts about Hitler himself (specifically the obscure details of his lineage and Hitler's own efforts to obscure them), details about his relationship to the occult, and the strains of 19th Century culture which informed Hitler and his own contributions to them in packaging them for a much wider audience in the 20th Century. Those readers who expect to find a single, unified persona behind "The Mask" will be disappointed. The book does not depend for its power upon its title. It is ultimately not what is behind the mask that is so fascinating; it is rather the mask itself -- all of the hands (especially Hitler's own) which crafted it, and all of the historical and cultural currents which served to accept, adopt and finally revere it. "Behind the Mask of Hitler" is an invaluable resource that will inform readers of the formal histories of Mid-Twentieth Century Europe and the rise and fall of the Third Reich.

Hitler is probably the subject that has received the most ink in the last 60 years. It seems that everything has been said and every dark corner explored about this larger than life character.
And yet Aytun Altindal, dipping into never published documents, some tracked down in his native Istanbul, has managed to find an untapped nugget in the overwhelming historical heap.
This is not surprising to me. Aytun Altindal is an expert on secret societies. In 2002 while doing a documentary on the Knights of Malta I enlisted his help as a consultant. He was an invaluable sleuth who located hard to find documents and revealed connections that my extensive research had missed.
In "Behind the Mask of Hitler" Aytun has managed to find new and shocking revelations about Hitler's life including information about his murky origins which the Fuerer had so thoroughly managed to suppress. The book reads like the backdrop for a "Da Vinci Code" type novel.
I hope Dan Brown reads it and gets inspired.
