Description: In 1945, after his capture at the end of the Second World War Hermann G ring arrived at an American - run detention centre in war - torn Luxembourg accompanied by sixteen suitcases and a red hatbox. The suitcases contained all manner of paraphernalia: medals gems two cigar cutters silk underwear a hot water bottle and the equivalent of 1 million in cash. Hidden in a coffee can a set of brass vials housed glass capsules containing a clear liquid and a white precipitate: potassium cyanide. Joining G ring in the detention centre were the elite of the captured Nazi regime Grand Admiral D nitz armed forces commander Wilhelm Keitel and his deputy Alfred Jodl the mentally unstable Robert Ley the suicidal Hans Frank the pornographic propagandist Julius Streicher fifty - two senior Nazis in all of whom the dominant figure was G ring. To ensure that the villainous captives were fit for trial at Nuremberg the US army sent an ambitious army psychiatrist Captain Douglas M. Kelley to supervise their mental well - being during their detention. Kelley realized he was being offered the professional opportunity of a lifetime: to discover a distinguishing trait among these arch - criminals that would mark them as psychologically different from the rest of humanity. So began a remarkable relationship between Kelley and his captors told here for the first time with unique access to Kelley's long - hidden papers and medical records. Kelley's was a hazardous quest dangerous because against all his expectations he began to appreciate and understand some of the Nazi captives none more so than the former Reichsmarshall Hermann G ring. Evil had its charms.
