The story of a senior Nazi responsible for thousands of deaths and his escape after the war hiding for three years before his eventual death in an Italian hospital.
The first half of the book is reconstructed from the diaries of his wife , who was even a more radical Nazi than von Wachter himself.
A truly disgusting couple and she held her views until her death many years after the war.
The second half of the book is the author trying to get the couples youngest son, Horst, 80 years old at the time , to acknowledge the enormity of his fathers crimes. In the end its a sledge hammer against a fly and got tedious.
The first half up until Otto's death is interesting but the remainder can be flagged
