Publisher's Summary

In the last days of World War I, Corporal Adolf Hitler was blinded by mustard gas, necessitating a month-long confinement in a military psychiatric hospital. Peculiarly, amid Germany's final days of World War I, the modest corporal was transported 700 kilometers from Ypres, Belgium, to northern German Pomerania, seeking the expertise of the nation's foremost neuropsychiatric physician.

The mystery deepens as one questions why a corporal, with Germany teetering on surrender just 35 days away and Kaiser Wilhelm II fleeing the country, would garner such attention. Entering the hospital as a highly decorated soldier with four years of trench survival, the 29-year-old Adolf Hitler, as depicted in his autobiography, Mein Kampf, had never entertained prejudiced thoughts against Jews. However, upon emerging a month later, he had transformed into the worst anti-Semite in history.

"Hitler in the Madhouse," a historical fiction novel, sheds light on the events of those thirty-one days. The tale delves into the mustard gas effects, portrays brutal battles of World War I, and offers insights into German historical fiction, providing a unique perspective on Hitler's life during Germany's final days of the war.

In weaving together the threads of war, psychology, and personal evolution, Hitler in the Madhouse is a voluminous exploration of a critical historical juncture.
