Book Review Number 7

My Opposition” edited by Robert Scott Kellner, grandson of the author

The book is a published reprint of the diary Friedrich Kellner, an anti-Nazi living in the Third Reich, kept during the war. Mr. Kellner started his diary in 1939 at great risk to himself. He held an administrative position in the German court system where he could observe the Nazi bureaucrats and interact with solders on leave, as well as listen to friends’ and neighbors’ opinions and views as the war progressed through to the end. Thought he had to be ultra careful in hiding his writing from public exposure he continued throughout the war. He was unbelievably insightful from the very beginning in his views about how the war would ultimately end.
