This is a study of the role of German and Austrian royals in Hitler's defeat. The
part played by the many German and Austrian royal families in opposing Hitler has
hitherto been overlooked, and this history outlines many incredible instances of their
involvement. Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia was deeply involved in the German resistance
movement and was questioned by the Gestapo following the July 20 plot on Hitler's
life; Otto von Habsburg, heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was sentenced to death
and escaped through Europe to America, where he helped coordinate attempts to liberate
his homeland; his Hohenberg cousins (children of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand) were
incarcerated in Dachau; Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria was exiled to Italy where
he was pursued by the SS -- his wife and children were captured and sent to concentration
camps; and the exiled Prince Hubertus zu Lwenstein traveled between the U.S. and Britain
assembling German exiles into groups representing the real Germany, so that they could
assume power when Hitler was defeated
