IN THE BUNKER WITH HITLER
Book Type: C By Bernd Freytag von Loringhoven Throughout the last nine months of the Third Reich, from 23 July 1944 to 29 April 1945, Captain Bernd Freytag von Loringhoven daily attended Hitlerâs military briefings with his highest-ranking officers. He also watchedâwhile recording his experiences in his private diariesâas increasingly the gap widened between the reality of the war outside the bunker and Hitlerâs willful illusions of imminent victory in the face of absolute ruin. In the last catastrophic week of Hitlerâs regime Loringhoven, now holed up night and day in the bunker, saw the final hopes of officers and staff dissolve into drink and fade into suicidal despair. He saw, too, his chance to survive: On April 29, when all communications in the bunker broke downâand with Hitlerâs unexpected blessingâhe left. On April 30 Hitler was dead. 207 pp. |
