320 pages. A historical detective story and a gripping account of one historian's hunt f or answers as he delves into the surprising life of an ordinary Nazi officer.It began with an armchair. It began with the surprise discovery of a stash o f personal documents covered in swastikas that had been sewn into its cushion. T he SS Officer's Armchair is the story of what happened next, as historian Daniel Lee follows the trail of cold calls, documents, coincidences and family secrets , to uncover the life of one Dr Robert Griesinger from Stuttgart. Who was he? Wh at had his life been - and how had it ended?Lee reveals the strange life of a man whose ambition propelled him to become part of the Nazi machinery of te rror. He discovers unexpected ancestors in New Orleans, untold stories of SS lif e and family fragmentation. As Lee delves deeper, Griesinger's responsibility as an active participant in Nazi crimes becomes clearer.Dr Robert Griesinge r's name is not infamous. But to understand the inner workings of the Third Reic h, we need to know not just its leaders, but the ordinary Nazis who made up its ranks. Revealing how Griesinger's choices reverberate into present-day Germany, and among descendants of perpetrators, Lee raises potent questions about blame, manipulation and responsibility.A historical detective story and a grippi ng account of one historian's hunt for answers, The SS Officer's Armchair is at once a unique addition to our understanding of Nazi Germany and a chilling remin der of how such regimes are made not by monsters, but by ordinary people.…
