Misch became part of Hitler's "inner circle" in 1940, when he began working as a bodyguard, courier and assistant in the German leader's office.

"In the inner circle, Hitler was a good boss. In the living quarters and the work room Hitler was a very relaxed man. He had a deep and quiet voice. There was no need to be scared if you made a mistake," Misch says in the book.
