You can’t exactly love a book entitled Hitler at Home, but in the respect and interest categories this is indeed a five star production. I’ve looked into Ian Kershaw, Hitler, 1889-1936 Hubris, and there’s no Gerdy Troost. I’ve looked into Ron Rosenbaum’s Explaining Hitler, and there’s no Gerdy Troost. We know the stories of Hitler’s major architects, Paul Troost, Albert Speer, Leonhard Gall, we’ve seen the pillars and the steps, but what about Hitler’s interior designers, those who stood or sat next to him looking at floor plans, discussing colors? Gerdy Troost, wife and widow of Paul Troost, herself an architect, also an interior designer, film maker, business woman, artist, eventually gay, was Hitler’s soulmate in the construction of his domestic life. Biography talks about Geli Raubal, Hitler’s niece, a suicide, and about Eva Braun, his Bavarian beauty, and generally overlooks Gerdy Troost, who had an intimacy with the Fuhrer no other woman, not even Winifred Wagner, attained. The Fuhrer and Gerdy poring over swaths, choosing flatware, talking about linen. Hitler is at home in Gerdy Troost’s rooms. She’s in official state photographs, on the famous Berghof porch with Goebbels and Ribbentrop or in the exhibition hall Hitler’s curator. Stratigakos Hitler at Home is effectively a curatorial reading of Troost’s design, certain rooms in certan places still existing. She engages other architects and designers, but it is Gerdy Troost’s rugs and chairs that are before us beginning middle and end. It should quickly be said that Hitler at Home sustains an ongoing recognition of the other architecture and interior design in the Third Reich, festung und lager.
