The true story of how the Nazis used sex as a weapon against their own leaders...All over the world, the word `whore' is widely thought to be the most degrading name for prostitution. Not so in Germany, where it means `one who desires' - and after the horrors of World War One, many forms for desire were readily available.
Like all totalitarian regimes, as the Nazi Government grew in power, its leaders became paranoid about internal division and dissent. And so, in an ironic reversal of the party's strict principles of moral and sexual rectitude, a plan was developed to take over a famous, high class brothel, known to be frequented by the party elite.
The brothel was Salon Kitty, the prostitutes carefully selected to elicit - during pillow talk - any murmurs of disloyalty. These girls weapons were their bodies, and they were just as deadly.
Rigorously researched, with some first-hand interview material, Hitler's Harlots is thrilling, fascinating, shocking and touching, and an indispensable addition to the canon of non-fiction about Nazi Germany.
