Hilmar von Campe signs book deal with Anomalos Publishing

SPRINGFIELD, Missouri, April 26 / Raiders News Network / -- Former Hitler Youth Hilmar von Campe has contracted with Anomalos Publishing House to release his new book Defeating the Totalitarian Lie: A Former Hitler Youth Warns America.

Hilmar is listed in the "International Who’s Who of Intellectuals." He is the author of four other books, and WW2 veteran in the German Army as well as a former prisoner of war in Yugoslavia who staged a daring escape in 1945, crossing seven borders to freedom. He lived through the years of Nazi power and brain-washing in Germany as a child and then as a soldier. After the war, he learned about the Holocaust and the Nazi atrocities and had to come to grips with the reasons how something like that could happen. He also had to deal with his own moral responsibility for them. The destruction of Germany, the loss of his father in a Soviet concentration camp and of his elder brother who fell in Russia, and the expulsion from their home in Eastern Europe, had a profound impact on his life.

As a graduate of the University of Hamburg, he has traveled the world investigating political and social conditions of the countries he visited. He lived in most parts of the Latin American subcontinent with outstanding experiences through living in the homes of people of all various backgrounds. As a result, he had the opportunity to work with, and change the thinking of Communist laborers and student leaders. Together with friends, he was even kidnapped by the Communist leaders of the Bolivian Mineworkers Union. He then worked as an investment banker out of Lima, Peru, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic. Von Campe also managed a consulting firm on foreign investment and was managing director of an automotive parts factory in Mexico. As a member of the American-Mexican Chamber of Commerce he was, in the eighties, chairman of its subcommittee on foreign investments. His command of languages has helped him to experience firsthand social and economic situations worldwide.
