Hitler's Last Day: The Final Hours of the Fuhrer

Book Description Hitler's Last Day is a dark and gripping account of the Führer's final 24 hours on Earth. From rivalries within the Nazi inner-circle to the mysterious disappearance of Hitler's remains, this record reveals what truly happened in the Führerbunker. Product Description Have you ever wondered what was going on in Adolf Hitler's mind during his final hours in the Führerbunker? What were his thoughts as radio contact with the outside world grew faint, Soviet explosions became louder and louder, and he began to feel his unassailable power ebbing away? Did Hitler repent of his crimes against humanity or was he obsessed with thoughts of his imminent defeat and suicide? With an inimitable cast of doomed characters, from Hitler himself to his mistress Eva Braun, mass-murderer Heinrich Himmler, cunning chief of Nazi propaganda Joseph Goebbels, and the manipulative Martin Bormann, this book captures all the drama and dread in the bunker as the Red Army remorselessly advanced into the heart of Berlin, and Hitler and his Thousand-Year Reich vanished into history.
