Of the score or more field marshals created by Hitler three, and one grandadmiral, are still alive. Most of the others were killed in action, committed suicide, or were hanged by Hitler or their captors. To have written a biography of Milch, least famous of the survivors, requires some explanation. When I visited them, most of his contemporaries were surprised to learn that he was still alive. In the last years of his life he closeted himself behind an anonymous front door in suburban Dusseldorf, looked after by a niece, writing reports for a foreign aviation company of international repute. I was intrigued by the man when I first met him five years ago. Erhard Milch, Hermann Goring’s deputy – his benefactor in time of poverty, his adversary in time of influence, his defender in time of trial - proved to be the repository of a thousand anecdotes of the war and its slow prelude.
