The Rise and Fall of Ernst Hanfstaengl. The incredible story of the man who funded Mein Kampf and helped create the monster of Nazism before later working to destroy it. Ernst Hanfstaengl was court jester, pianist, and foreign press chief for Hitler; he even claimed to have the chant of Sieg Heil. But when the two men fell out he fled to Britain, where he was interned and tranferred to America. There he worked as the star of Roosevelt's 'S-Project,' informing on 400 leading Nazis and creating a detailed psychological portrait of Hitler.
