It is an unusual book – it seems to have had five ghost writers, it came after many years of Misch being in the media eye then tailing that appearance off due to age, and it comes to English with a new foreword from the author written just before he finally passed. It also has an argumentative and anonymous translator adding his own comments now and again, but what it does have principally is readability. Through either the work or the fault of someone or other it is incredibly light to read, and passes by in a breeze of easy vocabulary, light-hearted detail and very personable reflection. So if you can at least get aside the idea of assuming his unreliable narrator status, this book from Misch is one of the last eye-witness testimonies to what changed the last century so avidly, and is well worth a look.
[[Magda by Meike Ziervogel]] looks freshly at the last weeks of Hitler's life through a fictionalised Mrs Goebbels. You might also appreciate [[The Long Flight Home by A L Hlad]].
