Description

Offering the theory that Hitler and Wittgenstein were in the same class at school, this book proposes that the latter was the specific target of Hitler's bile in Mein Kampf, in which he describes a Jew at school, and that Hitler's beliefs about Jews came from the experience of meeting Wittgenstein at this time. It also argues that Wittgenstein, a secret Stalinist, had his revenge on Hitler by recruiting Blunt, Philby and other spies at Cambridge, who undermined the German cause by passing military information to the Russians.
