The
Thöt Diary: What about the War Diary of the
German High Command (OKW)?
I HAVE a question about the stenographic record from Hitler’s headquarters. On your webpage about the stenographer Dr. Karl
Thöt it says that the full record was destroyed at the end of the war. However, according to the book From Shadow to Substance, a history of West Germany, an historian who worked in the stenographic section, Percy Schramm, disobeyed the order and saved the whole record from destruction.
It was published as Kriegstagebuch des Oberkommandos der Wehrmacht after the war and runs to 6,600 pages. Are you familiar with this work?
