About the author and other contributors
Claus Hant is an award winning German scriptwriter, best known for the creation of a detective series that made German TV history with its audience figures. Not unlike the detective of his TV series, Hant asked inconvenient questions about certain uncommon events in the early life story of Adolf Hitler. After years of intense research and incorporating the latest findings of historical science, a storyline emerged that puts young Hitler's personal development into a new and unexpected perspective. The foreword to „Young Hitler“ was written by the historian and Hitler - expert Dr. Klaus Lankheit, Institut fuer Zeitgeschichte, Munich. English writers James Trivers and Alan Roche assisted Hant in producing the original English version of the book.
