Description of  Triumph of the Will?: How Two Men Hypnotised Hitler and Changed the World

What transformed Adolf Hitler from a purposeless drifter, who had slept rough on the streets of Vienna and never rose above the rank of Lance Corporal during four years of war, into a ruthless leader? A man who charmed women, manipulated the minds of millions and plunged the world into chaos, killing and destruction. In my book I set out to solve this mystery by describing the role in his rise to power of two hypnotist. The first was an eminent German doctor, academic and Naval officer named Dr Edmund Forster who cured him of hysterical blindness in 1918. The second was Eric Jan Hanussen, a Moravian Jewish showman, masquerading as a Danish nobleman. A multi-millionaire Berlin media baron, astrologer, hypnotist and celebrity clairvoyant, Hanussen coached Hitler in public speaking, funded the Nazi Party, promoted Hitler in his newspapers, and used hypnosis to strengthen Adolf's conviction that he had been chosen by divine powers to lead Germany to greatness again. All those involved were later murdered brutally by Hitler's henchmen in order to keep secret the truth of his mental breakdown. The result of more than 20 years research in Germany, the US, UK, France, Holland and Russia this controversial book reveals the full truth of this previously little-known story.
