Hitlers vrede

This book reminded me a bit of Richard Harris his books about WW2 (Munich, Enigma, V2). But this one was way better executed.
To be honest, the first 300 pages didn't do much for me. Although I can appreciate a slow espionage plot, it did not really drag me in.
But by the end, Kerr totally got me.
Although some events were not very realistic, the narrative was clearly one that could have been.
The “easy” thing about WW2 for a lot of people is the clear cut distinction between good and evil.
The Nazis are bad, the rest is good. It is the classic LOTR story.
What if one of your allies is just as bad, or maybe even worse? What if real politik dictates that you need to shake hands with your worst enemy? Isn't it ironic?
Philip Kerr was able to deliver a thought provoking historical fiction novel.

Highly recommended, 4,5 stars.
