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.

Cheaper & Higher Quality Than OEM Filters
Size: 9.3" x 9.7" x 1.8"
This Bosch Filter costs less than an OEM Filter and is significantly better because it's a HEPA filter unlike the cheap filters that most automotive manufacturers use. Can't go wrong with this!

You really need to change this filter !!!!
Size: 9.3" x 9.7" x 1.8"
This is a great cabin filter for her 2013 Honda CR-V... It was relatively easy to get the glove box down just enough to allow me to get my hands on the cabin filter cover, and pull it out... It was so dirty!!! The new one immediately made the air coming into the car, so much nicer to breathe.... Great filter...Perfect fit.... Thanks, Bosch !!!

Works fine 3 months in
Installed a few months ago, before the winter. I was chasing a no-start after replacing the old battery. We've seen single digit temps in the meantime and it is working well. The fit is perfect in a 2010 focus. If you can slide it in from the side and not drop it in from the top, you can replace it without taking off the intake manifold. There are useful videos online showing this. Good luck!

Will be returned as soon as I have a replacement.
When engine is cold starter works fine with engine is hot. It will free wheel the starter motor, but not kick the starter gear into the ring gear on the motor. Watch video and listen it actually did it twice at this location but I didn’t catch the first one on the video.
