Frederick Cable Oechsner estimated the collection at 16,300 volumes.[1] No records exist to confirm the amount, as several books were destroyed by the Allies.[2]
Although contemporaries say that Hitler loved reading works by German authors, Friedrich Nietzsche in particular, according to Ambrus Miskolczy "there is no sign of Goethe, Schiller, Dante, [sic] Schopenhauer, or Nietzsche in his library"[2] (although it is possible that some of these could have been destroyed by Allied bombing).
He is said to have believed that William Shakespeare was far superior to Goethe and Schiller. He had a copy of Georg Müller [de]'s 1925 translation of Shak
