The Europe I Saw (1968) By Elizabeth Wiskemann
 
Written in 1968, this is the autobiography of an English journalist/academic, discussing her travels in Weimar and Nazi Germany in the 1930’s to 1946, when she was arrested by the Gestapo on the basis that her newspaper articles were critical of Nazi Germany. Thankfully her questioning was short and she was released on the understanding that she would be arrested again should she ever return to Germany.

The book then details her visits to other European countries prior to the Second World War, when she was also gathering information for newspaper and magazine articles.

The contacts made during these years proved invaluable in working for British intelligence during the Second World War in Switzerland.

Finally there are a couple of chapters on Hungary and Italy in the immediate post-war period.
