This is the confession that Martin Davidson, already into middle age, received from his mother upon the death of his demanding, magnetic grandfather Bruno Langbehn. Part personal quest, part family memoir, part World War II history, The Perfect Nazi is Davidson's exploration, using the skills he honed as a documentary producer for the BBC, of the truth behind this dark family secret.

As Davidson dove into his research, drawing on an astonishing cache of personal documents as well as eyewitness accounts of this historical period, he learned that Bruno's story moved lock-step in time with the rise and fall of the Nazi Party: from his upbringing in a fiercely military environment amid the aftermath of World War I, to his joining the Nazi Party in 1926 at the age of nineteen, more than six years before Hitler came to power, to his postwar involvement with the Werewolves, the gang of SS stalwarts who vowed to fight on after the defeat of Nazism. Davidson realized that his grandfather was in many ways "the perfect Nazi," his individual experiences emblematic of the generation of Germans who would plunge the world into such darkness and he realized all that he would have to come to terms with.
