The Perfect Nazi - Uncovering My SS Grandfather's Secret Past and How Hitler Seduced a Generation.
By Martin Davidson
Published by Viking Penguin Books: UK 2010 1st Edition

"Martin Davidson's The Perfect Nazi (2010) is a deeply personal and unsettling exploration of his own family's complicity in the horrors of Nazi Germany. When Davidson discovered that his beloved grandfather, Bruno Langbehn, had been a decorated SS officer, he set out to uncover how an intelligent, seemingly ordinary man could become part of Hitler's brutal machinery. Drawing on declassified archives, letters, and interviews, Davidson reconstructs Langbehn's life—from his early enthusiasm for National Socialism to his career within the SS—exposing how propaganda, ideology, and social pressure lured an entire generation into moral blindness and atrocity.

Through this investigation, Davidson also grapples with the psychological and moral legacy of the Third Reich, both for individuals and for their descendants. The book weaves together family memoir and historical analysis, illustrating how the seductive promises of unity, purpose, and renewal were weaponised to create obedient followers of a genocidal regime. The Perfect Nazi ultimately becomes a broader meditation on inherited guilt, collective memory, and the ease with which ordinary people can be led to commit or ignore evil under the guise of national duty and belonging."
