A Second World War survivor has written a memoir about his notorious former neighbour – Adolf Hitler.

Munich-born Edgar Feuchtwanger, who has co-written “My Neighbour Hitler: memories of a Jewish child” with French journalist Bertil Scali, recalls his childhood under Nazi rule – from meeting the dictator face-to-face to experiencing antisemitic persecution.

Mr Feuchtwanger grew up on the street opposite Prinzregentenplatz 16 - where Hitler lived from 1929 to 1933.

Mr Feuchtwanger, 88, fled to England in 1939 but now lives in Aveyron, France.
