Hitler: The Last Ten Days

Captain Gerhard Boldt, assistant to the chief of the General Staff, left behind an astonishing historical testimony. With documentary accuracy, he conveys the reactions of the Führer and his closest circle to the most important events, and describes the mechanism of decision-making. The author had the chance to observe the leader of National Socialism and the first figures of the Third Reich at close range in the last days before the collapse of the empire. He created a remarkably believable portrait of the Führer, whose obsession later turned into manic stubbornness and unwillingness to know what was truly happening outside the walls of his bunker.
