This is a truly unique account of Nazi Germany at war and of one man's struggle against totalitarianism. A mid-level official in a provincial town, Friedrich Kellner kept a secret diary from 1939 to 1945, risking his life to record Germany's path to dictatorship and genocide, and to protest his countrymen's complicity in the regime's brutalities. Just one month into the war he notes how soldiers on leave spoke openly about the extermination of the Jews and the murder of POWs, while he also documents the Gestapo's merciless rule at home from euthanasia campaigns against the handicapped and mentally ill to the execution of anyone found listening to foreign broadcasts. This essential testimony of everyday life under the Third Reich is accompanied by a foreword by Alan Steinweis and the remarkable story of how the diary was brought to light by Robert Scott Kellner, Friedrich's grandson.

Product description

Review

'Should My Opposition be on everyone's reading list, even if uncomfortable? Yes!' Jerry Klinger, The San Diego Jewish News

'What is extraordinary is how well-informed Kellner is about geography in general and the detail of the progress of the war, in both Europe and Asia, in particular.' Jill Stephenson, European History Quarterly

'[Kellner] berates Germans for their blind gullibility, incorporating newspaper propaganda and detailing daily life, his diary like someone to confide in: its existence, an act of stirring, quiet defiance.' Steven Carroll, Sydney Morning Herald

'Kellner's diary is a necessary cornerstone addition to the vast WWII library.' David Hendricks, San Antonio Express-News

'Reveals to devastating effect just how very much the average German citizen did know - even near the beginning of the Second World War - about Hitler's genocidal madness.' Jane Warren, Daily Express

'Deftly compiled and expertly edited by Robert Scott Kellner, My Opposition: The Diary of Friedrich Kellner - A German against the Third Reich is a truly unique and impressively informative account of Nazi Germany at war and of one man's struggle against totalitarianism. An absolutely essential and unreservedly recommended addition to both community and academic library World War II History collections and supplemental studies reading lists ...' Micah Andrew, Midwest Book Review

'What is it like to be an isolated democrat in a highly popular dictatorship? This wartime diary will tell you. Just how this keenly observed book came to be published is an extraordinary story for itself. And Friedrich Kellner's day-to-day encounters with enthusiastic, gullible Hitler supporters in his hometown reveal a morally steadfast, but basically lonely German citizen whose perspective is bracing, incisive, and still pertinent to our times.' Peter Fritzsche, University of Illinois

'A remarkable testament ... Reading it is a reminder that not all Germans under the Third Reich were Nazis; some at least managed to retain a sense of decency and human values.' Richard J. Evans, Guardian

'An important piece of historical literature ... this book has vital things to say not just about the history of the war but what it was to be a decent human being and yet be forced to live through terrible times.' Laurence Rees, Daily Telegraph

Book Description

A unique account of everyday life under the Third Reich and one man's opposition to the Nazi regime.

    4.0 out of 5 stars There was pretty much no disgust
    Reviewed in Canada on March 1, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    A very interesting insight into the mind(s) of the few who opposed Hitler and his minions, And nothing unexpected at least by me as regards the views of the majority as someone who has read extensively over a period of 40 years on WWII and the plight of the Jews, Roma, Partisans etc in the German occupied countries, I wondered if this diary would provide any further insight of how a whole population could claim ignorance. And How, Why a whole population followed Hitler so blindly (sour grapes over WWI aside). I wanted to see if there were any references to this in this book. There were a few BUT only as barely a 'mention'. There was pretty much no disgust. But all in all, it is an interesting book. I'll have to continue to seek answers to my 'adult-life-long' quest elsewhere. One thing tho', Friedrich Kellner was a rarity amongst the German population. Too bad he was so alone with his thoughts and opinions of the circumstances surrounding him.

    It finally told the truth: that almost all Germans knew about the Jews being exterminated in the concentration camps.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Anti-Propaganda
    Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    It is very important to challenge the opinion of the masses and Friedrich Kellner did so, while a German under the National Socialist German Workers Party’s regime. Most Germans did not oppose the Nazi’s out of fear or the propaganda. His diary reminds us that we should listen to those with a difference of opinion, because it might just help us realize the price we could be paying for going along with the crowd.

    Aside from the forward that sets the time, place and preservation of the original diary, this is pure history. There is no commentary. There is no slant. Mr. Kellner's efforts to warn the next generation, at great risk to himself, has forever changed me.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This book should be more widely known
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 11, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    My goodness, what brave people Mr and Mrs Kellner were. This book gives a fascinating view of life in Nazi Germany, and how effective Goebbels' propaganda was. I am surprised that this book is not more widely known. This is essential reading for anyone looking to deepen their knowledge of everyday life in wartime Germany.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Recognized Nazism for what it was.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    The author of this diary is quite intelligent and somewhat prescient. He was one of those few who saw National Socialism, otherwise called Nazism, for what it truly was and that it was and is evil and recognized this from the start. One gets the feeling that he was the lone voice in the desert warning people against it but few if any paying heed. He refused to join the party and therefor came under suspicion for not having done so. Through the pages of his diary he relates instances of willful blindness and outright naivety of party members as to the true nature of Nazism and their incredible willingness to believe party propaganda no matter what was said or printed. He also relates the pressures that the war has on the German populace such as shortages and other restrictions and the like. His criticism of the party leaders and members is a recurring theme throughout. All in all his diary relates what it was like for the German civilian to endure this war and how someone like himself could see through the thin veneer that was the party’s propaganda machine and not be taken in by it. Well worth the read if you interested in subjects like this.
