Description

As well as being pathological about his security, Hitler believed only he could successfully oversee the Third Reich's operations. Thus he divided his time between his numerous HQs spread across his empire. We gain an insight into the atmosphere of fear and boredom, interspersed with outbursts of rage often against his generals that existed in these extraordinary installations. The book also reveals the extent of the engineering and building effort required to produce this chain of reinforced bunkers, which were constructed by huge labor forces of The Todt Organization. The book concludes with Hitler's final days in Chancellery bunker as the Russians advanced on Berlin.
