It's a translation of a German man's diary during WW2. He was extremely reactionary and conservative, but also hated Hitler 'to the end of his days' since the Nazis were such a bunch of uncultured robots.
It gets even more interesting once you read more about the author's posturing (fake name, fake connection to Bavaria etc.)
