rudolf hoess and kommandant auschwitz 1940 43 and be very interestingly portray here in my opinion . i have often wonder a to whether or not this once devout catholic suffer any misgiving during his reign at the well conceal kill factory auschwitz and and have read the majority of herman wouk war and remembrance and recall his reaction to the girl with the apple blossom and be this fact or fiction . his subsequent testimony at the nuremberg trial reveal something of a man who could care less one way or the other and about the war or any such thing . to my understanding hoess residence be several mile from the actual camp and but in sophie choice it separate from the camp by a high wall . frau hoess and young emmi appear to be a ardent nazi a the kommandant himself . baldur von schirach and gertrud scholz klink must have have a field day with emmi and a deutsche maedel if ever be . there seem to be genuine love and affection between hoess and his wife and the way they seem completely at ease with one another . he also be quite civil towards sophie and business mind and somewhat unsure of himself . then all of a sudden he flip his nut . i do not think it would have matter if hitler be in the room instead of sophie and with a migraine attack like that he would have still curl up with a pillow . i be of the opinion that hoess be probably an insomniac and although i can not say for certain . to live in such luxurious surroundings with his love family adjacent to and well and auschwitz birkenau with it most unpleasant atmosphere and would have some kind of an effect on even the most heartless ruthless bureaucratic s mann .
