With all of the literature that exists about WWII, Hitler, and the Holocaust, it is amazing that this is the first time I have every heard of a man named Hans Litten.  Benjamin Carter Hett's biography, "Crossing Hitler: The Man Who Put the Nazis on the Witness Stand" offers remarkable insight into a man who was determined to stand up against Nazi policy, even at the risk of his own life and law career.  While this biography does focus on Litten's examination of Hitler during the Eden Dance Palace trial, it offers further insight into the lawyer's life and German law.
