LOS DIARIOS DE UN FASCISTA Y ARISTÓCRATA ITALIANO Y LA ODISEA DE TRES MUJERES PARA SALVARLOS DE LA GESTAPO.En 1944 se hicieron públicos los diarios secretos de Galeazzo Ciano, ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Italia, en los que registraba los crímenes y planes nazis de los que se enteraba en sus reuniones con ellos. Pero poco se sabe que tres mujeres arriesgaron sus vidas para que estos llegaran a los Aliados, quienes luego los usarían como evidencia contra los nazis en los juicios de Núremberg. Cuando Galeazzo fue apresado, Edda Mussolini les dio a Hitler y a su padre un ultimátum: liberar a su esposo o correr el riesgo de que filtrara los diarios a la prensa. Hitler y Mussolini los buscaron en vano durante meses. Posteriormente, Hilde Beetz, espía alemana cuya misión era seducir a Galeazzo para encontrar sus escritos, fue a su vez seducida por aquel y unió fuerzas con Edda. Una tercera mujer se sumó a este increíble entramado --Frances de Chollet, espía casi accidental y esposa de un banquero estadounidense-- cuando Edda huyó a Suiza con la ayuda de Hilde, después de que Galeazzo fuera ejecutado. Frances fue el último eslabón para hacer llegar los diarios a los estadounidenses y cumplir así el deseo de Galeazzo. A partir de una minuciosa investigación, Tilar J. Mazzeo nos muestra este momento histórico poco conocido, para hacernos ver que sin la participación de Edda, Hilde y Frances, uno de los documentos más importantes de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y que fue fundamental en los juicios de Núremberg sería, quizá, desconocido.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In a tale as twisted as any spy thriller, discover how three women delivered critical evidence of Axis war crimes to Allied forces during World War II: "A tantalizingly novelistic history lesson" (Kirkus). In 1944, news of secret diaries kept by Italy's Foreign Minister, Galeazzo Ciano, had permeated public consciousness. What wasn't reported, however, was how three women--a Fascist's daughter, a German spy, and an American banker's wife--risked their lives to ensure the diaries would reach the Allies, who would later use them as evidence against the Nazis at Nuremberg. In 1944, Benito Mussolini's daughter, Edda, gave Hitler and her father an ultimatum: release her husband, Galeazzo Ciano, from prison, or risk her leaking her husband's journals to the press. To avoid the peril of exposing Nazi lies, Hitler and Mussolini hunted for the diaries for months, determined to destroy them. Hilde Beetz, a German spy, was deployed to seduce Ciano to learn the diaries' location and take them from Edda. As the seducer became the seduced, Hilde converted as a double agent, joining forces with Edda to save Ciano from execution. When this failed, Edda fled to Switzerland with Hilde's daring assistance to keep Ciano's final wish: to see the diaries published for use by the Allies. When American spymaster Allen Dulles learned of Edda's escape, he sent in Frances De Chollet, an "accidental" spy, telling her to find Edda, gain her trust, and, crucially, hand the diaries over to the Americans. Together, they succeeded in preserving one of the most important documents of WWII. Drawing from in-depth research and first-person interviews with people who witnessed these events, Mazzeo gives readers a riveting look into this little-known moment in history and shows how, without Edda, Hilde, and Frances's involvement, certain convictions at Nuremberg would never have been possible.

It was just what I needed, no electronics.
Easy to fill and change flake sizes. Then just twist and go.

Lid on one did not work/grind salt or pepper
I received 2 of these products . One is good. The other lid was not good to grind.
I had to purchase from a different seller and take the lid off that one to exchange for the lid that would not grind.
Nothing would come out no matter how much I tried adjusting the lid.
So I was actually out of money for having to reorder another salt/pepper grinder.
The one that worked I give 5 stars the one that didn’t I wish I could get a refund on but it’s probably too late to receive a refund. I didn’t try it out until it was too late for a refund.

Good Buy
I used for the first time today. I’m very pleased at how it functioned.
Ease of use is great and it looks nice as well.
It’s larger than I expected and I’m very pleased with that, because it means I don’t have to refill the bottle so often. I only purchased to use for the peppercorn not for salt. I’ll buy another one for the Himalayan salt.
I highly recommend.

You have to adjust them to how course you want your salt and pepper and they are not electric mills
Color: Clear Glass, Size: 2pk, Color: Clear Glass, Size: 2pk
Comes in a set and nicely priced! Seem to be of good quality and they work well. These aren’t battery operated and you control the amount and courseness of the salt and pepper yourself. They look great in any kitchen and they are refillable, which I really like! They have a good ergonomic design to them so they’re easy to handle and operate. The speed of the grinding depends on how you operate it. I really like these and highly recommend them! Great value! 👍
