This is a very nice, little used First Edition of An der Seite meines Mannes (At My Husband’s Side) by Emmy Göring (née Sonnemann), the widow of Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring and the mother of their only daughter Edda.
In her foreword she clearly states she does not want to justify or apologize for anything that happened during the Third Reich, but that she just wants to tell the story from her perspective. Being married to Hermann Göring she experienced the years 1933 - 1945 in a unique, ‘up close’ position and she writes that she feels forced to share her side of the story and shed some light on the character of her larger than life, late husband.

Chapters cover memories of Emmy Göring’s life with Hermann Göring (from their first meeting in Weimar until the day of his suicide in 1946), her life as an actress before her marriage, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, hosting the Duke and Duchess of Windsor at Carinhall, the encounter with Eva Braun at the Obersalzberg, Dr. Joseph Goebbels and the Baarova Affair, the 1936 Olympics, Hitler’s death and the end of the Third Reich, Göring’s arrest and imprisonment, the Nuremberg Trial, etc., etc.
She also writes clearly and simply about her own arrest and imprisonment (with her 7 year old daughter!) after the end of the war, the loss of freedom and all her possessions, her legal troubles and difficulties restarting a new life in a small forest cottage without running water or electricity in the late 1940s.
