An unbelievable story of treason and treachery within the Third Reich The Devil's Doctor is the intriguing account of an unsung hero of World War II Dr. Felix Kersten. The physical therapist to Heinrich Himmler, one of the most infamous figures in history, Kersten probably had more influence on him than anyone else. He secretly collaborated with the Dutch underground, conspired with the head of Nazi intelligence to steer Himmler toward turning against Hitler, and, in his crowning achievement, facilitated the release of thousands of Jews still remaining in death camps during the waning days of the Third Reich. The Devil's Doctor brings special insight to spy vs. spy intrigue and the moral depravity at the core of the Nazi empire.
