The book "Under the mask of an Englishman" is not formally a work of Sebastian Haffner himself. This is a recording of an interview with him and an article about him by a German literary critic. However, for those who are interested in his works - and the personality itself - there are many interesting facts about his life and work. In 1939, Haffner wrote The Story of a German in London. 50 years later, the young journalist Jutta Krug visited the author of the book, who was then already in his 80s, and talked with him about his life in Berlin and in exile. In an interview with Sebastin Haffner, he explains why he left Germany and the difficulties he first had in England. In addition, he talks about his journalistic work in the German-language émigré newspaper Die Zeitung and later in the famous Observer. In addition, the period of time refers to his actually the first journalistic work "Germany: Jekyll and Hyde" .. "Under the mask of an Englishman" is not only an exciting, personal account of one life, but also an important testimony of that time.
