Fest was a German historian, biographer, journalist, and critic ; renown for his biography of Adolf Hitler. He experienced firsthand the rise of the Nazis, the Second World War, and a defeated Germany; coming from the point of view in an intellectually rigorous German household opposed to the Nazis and how its members suffered for their political stance.
