Later Reception
In 2001, the historian Sönke Neitzel found about 150.000 pages of pick-up protocols made in Trent Park or Fort Hunt. He analysed them together with Harald Welzer, a psychologist. They published several books about their results:
- Abgehört: Deutsche Generäle in britischer Kriegsgefangenschaft 1942-1945 (English: Tapping Hitler's Generals: Transcripts of Secret Conversations, 1942-1945. (2007, Frontline Books, ISBN 978-1844157051)
- Soldaten: Protokolle vom Kämpfen, Töten und Sterben (2011, paperback 2012) (English (2012): Soldaten: On Fighting, Killing, and Dying. The secret POW transscripts of German POWs. (Knopf, ISBN 978-0307958129) Foreword: Ian Kershaw
- »Der Führer war wieder viel zu human, viel zu gefühlvoll«: Der Zweite Weltkrieg aus der Sicht deutscher und italienischer Soldaten (2011) (editors: Neitzel, Welzer and Christian Gudehus)

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
