Born in Germany on April 11, 1925, Hilmar Von Campe was drafted into the Hitler Youth and ultimately fought as a German soldier in World War II. As he explains, "I had thought that as a soldier I was fighting for my country, but I came to realize that in reality I was fighting for the immoral purposes of a bunch of gangsters." 
    
    After earning a degree in Economics from the University of Hamburg, Mr. Von Campe left Germany in the 1950's and went on to work for ADELA, an international investment company, in Latin America and the Carribbean, among many other successful business pursuits. 

    Retiring from that world in 1991, Hilmar founded The National Institute for Truth and Freedom ; " to make the battle for freedom the concern of every last person in the United States and across the world." 

    As Hilmar explains, "Freedom is only possible on the basis of truth. The 20th Century clarified for us, that lies destroy freedom. Materialistic ideologies and government systems based on lies robbed hundreds of million of people of their freedom and millions of their life. The battle for freedom therefore is the battle for truth by breaking the power of the lie, and trying to establish truth as the basis of all human relationships." 

    In his determination to communicate the parallels he observes between the circumstances which gave rise to Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich in Germany in the 1930's and in the United States of America today; Hilmar has written a new book titled "DEFEATING THE TOTALITARIAN LIE" in the hopes of helping the American People avoid the mistakes that his family and his fellow Germans made then. 

    Among the many notable voices raised in defense of Liberty in America today, very few have Hilmar Von Campe's personal experience and familiarity with totalitarianism and tyranny.
