This is based on comments from a Hitler memoir of Hermann Rauschning, the National Socialist Senate president of Danzig from 1933 to 1934. He was later ousted and became a radical anti-nazi.

It is often cited in historical biographies of Hitler, adn is pretty much common knowledge in the historical field.

You may want to be ready for the "revisionist historians" when you cite it. Although it has been used for decades in historical research and Hitler biographies, lately it has come under fire as a "forgery" by the left. One (1) source claims it is a fraud. Thousands of others have used it for historical research. I'll let you be the judge.

In my opinion, the man who wrote is was an early Nazi party pioneer, who had close ties to Hitler, and would have had the knowledge he claims he had. So I use it.

I read the work in Grad School, and no one there had much doubt about its validity.
