Reviews
'In this compelling biography of a key player in the implementation of the Holocaust, Alex J. Kay succeeds in explaining the extraordinary journey of Alfred Filbert to becoming a mass murderer. Sound in judgement and full of novel insights, the book is an important addition to the genre of perpetrator studies.' Robert Gerwarth, Professor of Modern History and Director, Centre for War Studies, University College Dublin, '... important and immensely insightful ... Throughout all chapters, Kay splendidly traces the complicated system of patronage and personal connections that were crucial in the making or breaking of a career under the Nazi regime.' Franziska A. Karpinski, Journal of Perpetrator Research

Synopsis
A pioneering biography of a frontline Holocaust perpetrator which sheds new light on the motivations of those who served the Nazi regime. Alex J. Kay uncovers the life of Alfred Filbert who led an SS killing squad which was responsible for the murder of more than 18,000 Soviet Jews., In this pioneering biography of a frontline Holocaust perpetrator, Alex J. Kay uncovers the life of SS Lieutenant Colonel Alfred Filbert, responsible as the first head of SS-Einsatzkommando 9, a mobile killing squad, for the murder of more than 18,000 Soviet Jews - men, women and children - on the Eastern Front. He reveals how Filbert, following the political imprisonment of his older brother, set out to prove his own ideological allegiance by displaying particular radicalism in implementing the orders issued by Hitler, Himmler and Heydrich. He also examines Filbert's post-war experiences, first in hiding and then being captured, tried and sentenced to life imprisonment. Released early, Filbert went on to feature in a controversial film in the lead role of an SS mass murderer. The book provides compelling new insights into the mindset and motivations of the men, like Filbert, who rose through the ranks of the Nazi regime.
