The Last Days of Hitler by Hugh R. Trevor-Roper

4.0

What really happened in the last week or so in the Führerbunker ?

Between the double crosses of Soviet Archives holding Hitler's remains, Bormann's disappearance (which we can write off as: made his acquaintance with shellfire) & the final words of his last bodyguard & several secretaries, some clarity has been added since '47.

Still, the big picture remains unchanged. The fun in Trevor's classic account is the then-fresh hunt, crisscrossing the former territory of Greater Germany by jeep, for survivors in hiding and their characteristic blend of amnesia.
