The untold story of how Germany's top aristocrats contributed to Hitler's secret diplomacy during the Third Reich, providing a direct line to their influential contacts and relations across Europe, especially in Britain. Using previously unexploited sources from Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, and the USA, Karina Urbach unravels the story of how men such as the Duke of Coburg, grandson of Queen Victoria, were tasked with some of Germany's
top-secret foreign policy missions from the First World War onwards, culminating in their role as Hitler's trusted go-betweens during the Second World War.
